Pesticide News Story: The EPA Denies Petition Seeking Emergency Suspension of Clothianidin and Releases Petition for Public Review
Date: Wednesday, 8-Aug-2012 07:11:14 Dear RM Agents and Readers,
This is some of the more indepth research that I've come across in the past as a possible connection to that which we know as being Morgellons. It has also caused the honey bee deaths which should not be taken lightly. You may be able to live without those who have shown to have Morgellons but will life surive without the honey bee and the other pollinators?
A high percentage of folks with Morgellons smoked or used nicotine--is there a connection between nicotine and Neonicotinoid Insecticides?

The memo, obtained by Colorado beekeeper Tom Theobald and publicized by the Pesticide Action Network, was written in November by scientists from the EPA’s Environmental Fate and Effects Division, who are considering Bayer’s request to use clothianidin in cotton and mustard. They describe how a key Bayer safety study used by the EPA to justify its original clothianidin approvals, which were granted before the study was actually conducted, was sloppily designed and poorly run, making it a “supplemental” resource at best.
According to the EPA’s website, the clothianidin review has been moved back to 2012.

Neonicotinoids (NN)
The neonicotinoids are a class of insecticides with a common mode of action that affects the central nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death. All of the neonicotinoids were registered after 1984 and were not subject to reregistration. Some uncertainties have been identified since their initial registration regarding the potential environmental fate and effects of neonicotinoid pesticides, particularly as they relate to pollinators. Data suggest that neonicotinic residues can accumulate in pollen and nectar of treated plants and may represent a potential exposure to pollinators. Adverse effects data as well as beekill incidents have also been reported, highlighting the potential direct and/or indirect effects of neonicotinic pesticides. Therefore, among other refinements to ecological risk assessment during registration review, the Agency will consider potential effects of the neonicotinoids to honeybees and other pollinating insects.
The registration review docket for imidacloprid opened in December 2008, and the docket for nithiazine opened in March 2009. To better ensure a “level playing field” for the neonicotinoid class as a whole, and to best take advantage of new research as it becomes available, the Agency has moved the docket openings for the remaining neonicotinoids on the registration review schedule (acetamiprid, clothianidin, dinotefuran, thiacloprid and thiamethoxam) to FY 2012.

Dear RM Agents and Readers,
The link below provides information regarding the EPA's refusal to just pull clothianidin from the market without more input.

Nictone and Neonicotinoid are similar in their actions
