A recent study by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health revealed that people exposed to pesticides may have a higher risk of Parkinson's disease than those without exposure. Another study found that farmers exposed to high levels of pesticides had unexpectedly high rates of brain tumors.

 

Of course, common sense tells us that we should should limit our use of toxic chemicals. Yet, I am not aware of, nor could I locate, any information showing a relationship between pesticide exposure and inflammatory bowel disease.
