Fungicide (Brambles)

Fungicides for brambles may cause intolerance due to their effects on liver detox, gut health, and immune response. Avoiding exposure, supporting detox pathways, and using targeted supplements can help manage sensitivity and improve overall well-being.

🚫 What is Fungicide for Brambles?
Fungicides for brambles (such as blackberries and raspberries) are chemical treatments used to prevent fungal diseases like rust, anthracnose, and powdery mildew. They often contain copper-based compounds, azoles, or sulfur, which can leave residues on fruit and cause sensitivities in some individuals.

🤔 Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Bramble Fungicide?
Your sensitivity may stem from its chemical composition and effects on detox pathways, gut health, and immune function:

  • Liver detox burden – The liver must break down fungicide residues, which can overwhelm detox pathways.
  • Gut microbiome disruption – Some fungicides may affect beneficial gut bacteria, leading to digestive discomfort.
  • Immune system activation – The body may recognize fungicides as toxins, triggering inflammation.
  • Respiratory irritation – Some fungicides produce airborne residues that may cause breathing issues.
  • Endocrine disruption – Certain fungicides may interfere with hormone balance.

🛠️ What Can I Do About It?

  • Choose organic, untreated brambles – Reduce exposure to synthetic fungicides.
  • Wash berries thoroughly – Use a baking soda or vinegar soak to remove residues.
  • Support liver detox – Eat cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale) and drink plenty of water.
  • Use an air and water filter – Reduce potential exposure from environmental contamination.
  • Monitor symptoms – Avoid fungicides for 8 weeks and retest to assess improvement.

💊 Which Supplements Can Help with Bramble Fungicide Intolerance?

  • Glutathione – Supports detoxification and liver function.
  • Milk thistle – Enhances liver enzyme activity to process toxins.
  • Probiotics – Helps restore gut bacteria affected by fungicides.
  • Quercetin – Reduces inflammation and allergic reactions.

🌟 Why Might I Have an Intolerance to Bramble Fungicides but Not Other Pesticides?

  • Fungicide-specific effects – These chemicals may disrupt gut bacteria more than insecticides or herbicides.
  • Liver detox challenges – Some fungicides require different detox pathways than other pesticides.
  • Respiratory impact – Certain fungicides produce more airborne residues, leading to stronger reactions.
  • Cumulative exposure – Frequent consumption of treated berries may increase sensitivity.

🍽️ Common Sources & Safer Alternatives

💡 Found in:

  • Conventionally grown blackberries, raspberries, and other bramble fruits
  • Agricultural and home garden treatments for fungal disease prevention
  • Water sources contaminated by fungicide runoff

🍽 Alternatives (if tolerated):

  • Organic, pesticide-free brambles
  • Filtered or spring water
  • Natural antifungal treatments (e.g., neem oil, baking soda-based sprays)
