The review of dichlorvos examined the available published literature and found no evidence of dichlorvos-related cancers in humans.”

57 years between discovery and cessation. Not a single case of cancer.

Dichlorvos is utterly horrible stuff and should be used with extreme care but c’mon, put the bogeyman back in the box. You need to worry about the real effects of organophosphates not some imaginary ones or you throw the baby out with the bathwater.
