What's special about those created by man?  The most toxic substances on
earth were created by nature.

I'm as concerned as any about our exposure to neurotoxins, and California
is working to phase them out as much as possible.

I thank Christina for bringing up the prolonged binding of some neonics.
But again, nature does a pretty good job coming up with neurotoxins with
very high binding affinity, such as bungarootoxin:

That said, we generally avoid exposing ourselves to these extremely
dangerous natural neurotoxins.  And it's likely a good idea to do the same
with synthetic neurotoxins with high or permanent binding affinity.

This thread appears to keep straying away from scientific thinking and
evidence.  Let's all make an effort to keep it "informed."
