My mother is afraid of spiders, and sprays the house regularly and thoroughly with insect killer. She also seems to be ill very often with stomach ailments. Is there a connection here?

All pesticides are poisonous and it will absorb through skin and lungs. It will damage liver. Most of pesticide manufacturers hide the adverse effects of domestic pesticides and state that it is harmless to human being.
Endosulfan, a pesticide sprayed in cashnut plantation in Kerala, South India has affected the children and they suffered permanent nerve damage just like Poliomyelitis.

Around here kids are dying from EEE gotten through mosquito bites. The state held off on spraying because people said that the spray might hurt insects. There sure is a relationship - the more spraying the less insect borne human illness.
You mom should go to a real doctor and get a good checkup.

There is indeed a direct connection. Chemicals cause an inflammatory response in the system, and inflammation leads to heart disease. First of all, rather than using insect killer, suggest she uses pine oil disinfectant. Spiders hate that. There is one available through Watkins that when mixed with water is very effective...no spiders at all and a much healthier alternative.

ANY time you use pesticides, I don't care how "safe" they claim it is, has an effect on human health. The spray is designed to "kill" insects. What it does, in effect, is to suffocate them by paralyzing their body. These sprays have an effect on the nervous system of our bodies.
If she has problems with stomach ailments, it could very well be related, but very difficult to prove, unless the doctors or hospitals can test her for "chemicals" in her body, including the spray that she uses.
My husband has reactions to chemicals such as paints, varnish, and enamel paint. His symptoms mimick a heart attack. This chemical sensitivity took 1 year to diagnose. Once we found out the culprit, his "chest pains" never came back, (unless he walks into a room that is freshly painted, etc).
trust your instincts with your mother, you may be RIGHT!!

There are a lot of studies that support this. Anything that is poisonous to another living being has to be poisonous to humans at some level...especially when you compound that with exposure on a regular basis. It builds up in the system. I hate spiders, too...but choose to smoosh them instead of spray them!

Most sprays, whether insect killers or any other kind are not much good for your breathing. Make sure there's plenty of ventilation when you spray.

the relationship is very fairly basic. The severe point of interest on Q&A reflects the might desire to locate who or what's looking or answering the subject. with out this understanding all understanding is bogus. as long as one is pointed out with the fake ego theory programmed by ability of society some sort of psychological ailment is certain.
