AUTISM AND PET CARE

Autism is a complex developmental disorder that effects social and communication interaction in children and adults. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. It is believed that autistic persons have certain brain irregularities and abnormal levels of neurotransmitters in the brain. Some studies suggest these imbalances occur in fetal development. It is becoming widely recognized that autism is caused by both genetics and environment.

The disorder is on the rise. It is becoming much more prevelant. A recent study that examined participants in the Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and the Environment (CHARGE) found that insecticide based pet shampoos could be linked to autism. The basis for this theory is due to the presence of pyrethrins in the products. The same ingredient found in most equine and livestock insect repellants. Pyrethrins aggravate the central nervous system of insects, rodents, and other organisms. It only makes sense that this stuff has the potential to cause serious harm.

I find it difficult to accept that pet care products on the market today could lower the quality of life for any person. Why even risk it? If you knew the risk was there, would you expose your children to this danger? Of course not. You wouldn't subject your animals to this junk either if you knew the truth. Thats why Equine Green is here- to do the best possible job we can to educate each and every one of you to protect you, your loved ones, and the Earth! GREEN FOR ALL!!
