Scores of Paraguayan say that they are being driven from their communities by pesticides, a problem recognised by the new government there.
Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman reports from San Pedro del Norte, Paraguay where locals are complaining that mass spraying of toxic chemicals on farmland near their homes is making them ill.

Similar to the other evil corp. Monsanto who has been commiting sins all over the world with their genetically altered seed. This GM product is another example of how US corp. make other countries peoples miserable. We in USA are being poisoned by prosilac in our milk,growth hormones are pumped into our beef cattle which causes cancers in humans, our poultry and swine are also polluted with toxins to make them grow faster and fatter to harvest for profit earlier. Bottled water also polluted!

This isn't bullshit. Even here in my country the herbicides in the fall kills the elderly by the numbers. It also kills the honey bees when they use pesticides. We have no recourse but use but we now it is dangerous. We try to stay indoors to avoid the poison. It has to stop somehow. I even planted a tomato garden and refused to use pesticides. I lost much to worms but still had so many tomatoes that we could not eat them all. Perhaps there is something to learn about sharing even with insects.
