Sheep Dip and Oganophosphates.

I had a farm in Wales from 2001 to 2015 and the government was saying that we had to dip the sheep once a year in this noxious sheep dip which one was told was the only thing that would prevent Sheep Scab, an irritant for the poor sheep. This I believe was the start of my symptoms of MS. Complete loss of balance and being a dancer this wasn't a help!
A lovely life but so much has been suffered, by those just trying to earn a living. I was invited to the Houses of Parliament by Andy Burnham who was campaigning for Farmers to make the Government recognise that by insisting on using this toxic mixture that many lives are ruined. Time is going by and there is an election looming people are thinking who are they going to vote for. There was a lady who was going to support Andy in his bid to have this "Dip" made illegal. This all started decades ago, farmers have suffered with this with no acknowledgement!

Organophosphates and MS

Is there any correlation between multiple sclerosis and the use of organophosphates in sheep dip? Up until 2002 all sheep dips used in the UK had to contain organophosphates by law. These chemicals were similar to Agent Orange used in the Vietnam War. Can the use of these chemicals have lasting effects upon its users? Years ago I kept sheep in Wales and I have always wondered whether the organophosphates I was exposed to when we used sheep dip triggered my MS. I was invited to Parliament to discuss this and it was incredible that a dozen or so of the people there had the symptoms that I have. There is no way that the government can admit that there is a connection between the two otherwise they would be liable to a massive compensation payments. I only found out about this meeting with Andy Burnham MP through a friend  who alerted me to it. Friends said afterwards they would have loved to have gone! Is this a conspiracy by the government to keep us in the dark? It is not that so much, as an admittance that this was the case would give some sort of closure. Farmers have committed suicide because their livelihood had been destroyed before their eyes. Indeed the consequences were damage to their eyes too; they had been affected as had their hearing. They had developed continual headaches - and so it goes on!
