BT causes Leaky Gut

[Brown Thumb]

Anyone read about this.
they are spraying for gypsy moths around here with Bt from helicopters and it came up under the comments section on the newspaper article.

No way. When has biological pest control ever had unanticipated consequences?

BT is about as safe as a biological can be.

Here's the 1994 info from Cornell University: http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/24d-captan/bt-ext.html
And the undated info from UC-San Diego: http://www.bt.ucsd.edu/bt_safety.html

There are, of course, alarmist web pages galore, from those opposed to--well--many scientific subjects.

PS: BT does cause leaky gut in the affected insect larvae.
