EPA approval of new neonicotinoid is overturned in court

[quote]Sulfoxaflor is a systemic insecticide which acts as an insect neurotoxin and is a member a class of chemicals called sulfoximines which act on the central nervous system of insects.

Because sulfoxaflor binds much more strongly to insect neuron receptors than to mammal neuron receptors, this insecticide is selectively more toxic to insects than mammals.[5][end quote]

Isn’t it great that EPA is initially approving using a neurotoxin that’s somewhat more toxic to insects than mammals :-) And we all know that mammal and human receptors are identical. Also there is probably no variation in human neuron receptors the same way there is in eye color, hair color, skin tone, height, etc. Shaquille O’Neal is probably just as safe as a racehorse jockey.
