Thing #815 that may cause Autism: Pet Shampoo Insecticides

Pet Shampoo Insecticides Trigger Autism?

In the news this week is the story that common household chemicals and things such as insecticides in dog shampoo could cause Autism.

Very interesting stuff. I know, there is a never ending laundry list of things that “may cause Autism”, but I do feel a tad bit encouraged that people are starting to recognize that not only could some of these things be true, but they could be inter-related.

It does not appear that we really have much of a clue what all of these chemicals in our homes do to us. To complicate matters even further, we really, really don’t seem to have any clue what combinations of all of these chemicals do to us.

When you think about a) how many thousands upon thousands of chemicals we have in our homes these days and b) the cluelessness and ineptitude of our federal government at least not to intentionally confuse the issue, it’s easy to see that Autism is a very complex problem that could be triggered by a combination of many factors.
