Fungicides (generic)

What is Fungicide?

Fungicides are chemicals specifically designed to combat fungal infections in plants, soil, or surfaces. They come in various formulations, including sprays, powders, and granules, and often contain active ingredients like chlorothalonil or propiconazole.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Intolerance to fungicides can stem from their potential to cause skin irritation or respiratory distress upon exposure. Symptoms may include rashes, headaches, or respiratory problems, particularly for those with asthma or allergies. Prolonged exposure raises concerns about potential long-term health effects, adding to the intolerance.

What can I do about it?

To reduce intolerance, consider opting for natural fungicide alternatives, such as neem oil or baking soda solutions. Regularly inspect plants for early signs of fungal infections and address them promptly to minimize the need for chemical intervention. Always follow safety guidelines when handling fungicides to reduce exposure.
