Wow...just read this one.....where is CPS when we call in babies born positive for drugs?...too busy...so we turn them over to their moms and let them take them home. Don't get me started on the flawed systems we have. Brooding chickens in a bedroom vs. drug-babies...kind of a no-brainer.

Yeah I just read this one too and said "Wow" but because I was taught if you don't have anything good to say, don't say it at all, I will make light of it and say if dust would get my kids taken away, someone better come get them (please?) because I haven't had time to dust my house in 3 weeks

The dust bunnies are now as big as a cat and don't even get me started on the chicken dander, lol.

I do agree with the flawed system though and could go on forever about it.

I Googled sevin mites and found this www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6422454
interesting no?

And your point is WHAT? I can find .5 ppm of just about anything in anything that I test. Also, THAT .5 PPM WAS AT THE VERY BEGINNING. GEESH!

"...At no time during the study did total residues in eggs exceed the current .5 ppm egg tolerance for carbaryl and its metabolites."

SEE:
http://www.inchem.org/documents/jmpr/jmpmono/v070pr02.htm
...Carbamate chemicals and carbaryl do not occur at sufficiently high levels or frequencies
to be considered as contributors to the daily intake of pesticide
chemicals."


The temporary tolerance of 5 (note that that's 5, not .5) ppm in poultry set by the 1969 Joint
Meeting on a whole meat basis, including skin, was referred back by
the 5th Meeting of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues. Further
data have been provided that show that the distribution of residues
varies considerably with the method of application of carbaryl. The
method of analysis was colorimetric and determined carbaryl and
1-naphthol at 0.1 and. 0.2 ppm, respectively. Residues of 1-naphthol
never exceeded 10% of those of carbaryl. Even when carbaryl was
applied at frequent intervals and rates above those recommended,

BTW Oh, gee, did you forget to notice the FACT during your limited/biased search that Sevin DOES kill mites?

Which would be good information if only it stated what % of Sevin and if they had used a dusting method versus dipping. I'd have to believe a light dusting of Sevin 5 would have different results than whatever they were doing with that dipping thing back in 1984.

Here is a link from Kansas State University specifically recommending a dusting of Sevin 5 for eliminating mites in poultry flocks written in 1999. http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/library/lvstk2/mf2387.pdf

Wow--
You do not know me, my kid or our Family.....
Yet You'd take my kid away because I allowed her to brood chicks in her room?
Doesn't matter that it is a large room, well venthilated with a hepa air cleaner... and it is her OWN room-- She doesn't have to share it..it's her "Space"....she decorated it, cleans it etc....

I'm a neglectful abusive parent-- based on a question about using a certain product ????

What about the fact that she is ALLWAYS being complimented on how kind, mature and polite she is??
Or that she has never missed a day of school (except for an occasional illness like flu)... is an almost all-A student, is Artistic, well behaved, articulate and raised to think for herself....????

Where are you when I see parents beating their kids in the grocery store?
Or leaving an 8 year old home alone overnight---
Or have 6 kids all sleeping on 1 bed in one room in filth and half starving???
How about parents who-- thru nessesity, leave kids home alone all day to fend for themselves while Mom & dad work??? Ya take them away too???

It is people like you that destroy good families, and allow mal-adjusted and abusive parents continue depriving, hurting, and emotionally screwing-up their kids!

I asked this question BECAUSE I was concerned for her health-- If I was the neglectful parent you have labled me-- I wouldn't have bothered...now would I????

If this is the hateful type of responces you tend to wtite-- please refrain from reading or responding to ANY of my posts.... I have enough stress in the real world without getting it in here!!!
