(Before It's News)

Gradually we should be replacing all harmful products we use every day, here are four products we recommend removing from your life.

We are poisoning ourselves and the world with all sorts of poisonous chemicals. For us to protect ourselves we need to be aware of what is in some of the common things we use every day. I think once you read through this you’ll be thinking hard about using these again. No.1 Bug Spray – We are not just killing the bugs but we are also poisoning ourselves! This can be done by the spray being absorbed through the skin or by being inhaled. The main ingredient in many bugs sprays available is DEET (N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide), it was made by the U.S. Army after exposure to jungle warfare during World War II and Southeast Asia. A pesticide made with the same ingredient has also been considered and experiments have been made on farm fields. The directions state that if it the spray comes into direct contact with your skin it should be washed off as soon as it is no longer needed – seriously, how often does anyone actually do this! There was a report made by Cornell University stating that employees in the Everglades National Park who are exposed to DEET regularly were more likely to have insomnia, impaired cognitive function and disturbances in their mood. It can affect the central nervous system and accumulation of toxins can lead to seizures, coma and even death. DEET can be bought in up to 100% concentrate, the center for disease control recommends 30-50% DEET. Saying that, Canada have barred the sale of repellents over 30% concentrate due to human health reasons.
