An alarming new study has found concerning levels of bee-killing neonic pesticides in kids, friend!

Researchers tested the urine, blood and even the spinal fluid surrounding the brain of 14 kids undergoing treatment for leukemia and lymphomas, and found neonics in nearly every sample. This is especially concerning in light of new research that suggests neonics may harm children’s developing brains and nervous systems.

The EU has already banned four neonics. We think it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit. Do you think the EPA should ban bee-killing pesticides?

Neonics have also been linked to the rapid decline in bee populations. American bumblebee populations have dropped by 89 percent and have disappeared entirely in eight states, according to a recent study. Their decline is already the affecting production of key food crops, like apples, berries and cherries.

Can you help EWG protect kids and bees from neonics? We need 4,500 of our top supporters to take a quick survey by midnight tonight to help us formulate our plans:
