Insects Get A Reprieve!

Geez, that will explain why I keep pissing down my leg !

Oh dear god, pregnant women, step away from the insect repellent now! European researchers have discovered a link between bug spray and penis birth defects in babies. The defect in question is  hypospadias, which basically means the opening of the penis ends up on the underside away from the tip. Ooh messy. Anywho, after major studies they think the most likely culprit is N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide (it’s friggin DEET OK!) an active ingredient found in most repellents. You can read more about it here Courier Mail.

  1. OMG! This is why I don’t want kids. If my kid is born with a defect I see adoption in its future….EWE!

  2. Why go through all the troulbe…someone can just have it. It’s the cheaper fix…..

  3. Nothing witty to say, just seeing if I fixed this “avatar” problem…..I was like why does Friggin Loon want to play “Pong” ?

  4. i remember when the kids in my neighborhood would all be excused from the dinner table on a second’s notice~ to go chase the mosquito truck! unbelieveable but true. did anyone else do this?

  5. note to self… do not travel in tropical central american countries while pregnant… i usually get the highest DEET stuff i can find when im over there..
