<2,4 DNP is not a pesticide. The most closely related pesticide was
dinoseb, I think it was 2,4-dinitrocresol, a herbicide. This was taken
off the market a decade ago. Who the hell knows why Muller found "one
sample" contaminated with DNP, or where it came from.>
According to Marion Moses, M.D., M.P.H.: ''Pesticides are toxic
substances deliberately added to our environment to kill or harm living
things. They can also kill or harm human beings. The 1947 federal
pesticide law defined pesticides as 'economic poisons.' Pesticides are
named according to the kind of pest they are used against'' --herbicides
for weeds, insecticides for insects; fungicides, bactericides, and so
forth. Hence, contrary to what Dale Wilson claims, 2,4 DNP is a
pesticide, just like Roundup is a pesticide!
