Attack (Insecticide)

Attack insecticide contains chemicals that may affect the nervous system, liver, and immune response, leading to intolerance. Avoiding exposure, supporting detox pathways, and using targeted supplements can help manage sensitivity and improve overall well-being.

🚫 What is Attack?
Attack is an insecticide used to eliminate pests in agriculture and home gardening. It typically contains synthetic pyrethroids or organophosphates, which are designed to disrupt insect nervous systems but can also affect human health through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact.

🤔 Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Attack?
Your sensitivity to Attack likely comes from its active ingredients and their impact on detoxification, the nervous system, and immune function:

  • Neurotoxic effects – Pyrethroids and organophosphates interfere with nerve signaling, potentially causing headaches, dizziness, or brain fog.
  • Liver detox burden – Your liver must process and eliminate these chemicals, which can overwhelm its function.
  • Chemical sensitivity – Some individuals are more reactive to pesticides due to genetic factors.
  • Inflammatory response – The immune system may perceive Attack’s chemicals as toxins, triggering inflammation.

🛠️ What Can I Do About It?

  • Avoid exposure – Choose organic produce and avoid pesticide-treated foods.
  • Wash fruits and vegetables – Use a baking soda soak to remove residues.
  • Support detox pathways – Eat cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and drink plenty of water.
  • Use an air and water filter – Reduce potential contamination from environmental exposure.
  • Monitor symptoms – Avoid exposure for 8 weeks and retest to assess improvement.

💊 Which Supplements Can Help with Attack Intolerance?

  • Glutathione – Supports liver detoxification and reduces oxidative stress.
  • Milk thistle – Enhances liver function to help remove toxins.

  • NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) – Assists in breaking down environmental toxins.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids – Reduces inflammation caused by chemical exposure.

🌟 Why Might I Have an Intolerance to Attack but Not Other Insecticides?

  • Different chemical composition – Attack contains specific active ingredients that your body may react to more strongly.
  • Neurotoxic effects – Some insecticides affect the nervous system more than others.
  • Liver metabolism differences – Your liver may struggle with Attack’s chemicals but process other pesticides better.
  • Cumulative exposure – Sensitivity may develop from repeated exposure, even if other insecticides were tolerated before.

🍽️ Common Sources & Alternatives

💡 Found in:

  • Conventionally farmed fruits and vegetables
  • Home gardening and agricultural pest control sprays
  • Water sources contaminated by pesticide runoff

🍽 Alternatives (if tolerated):

  • Organic, pesticide-free produce
