Should We Be Afraid Of Tampons?
The studies look at field workers
So we know the fear around pesticides can’t be eliminated completely, just because you purchase organic tampons. And, the same organic tampon companies that try to sell you on the fact that only the competition exposes you to pesticides will also bring up that pesticides have been linked to serious illness. What they may not bring up is the fact that those studies examine field and factory workers—individuals who are exposed to high levels of pesticides for prolonged periods of time. That’s very different from the woman who wears a tampon with barely trace levels of pesticides, for just roughly 20 hours a month.
