Network

What is Network?

Network is a systemic fungicide used in agriculture to control a variety of fungal diseases, such as rust, blights, and mildew. It works by inhibiting the production of essential enzymes in the fungus, preventing its growth and spread. Network is effective on a wide range of crops, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Network contains the active ingredient trifloxystrobin, which can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Exposure to the chemical through inhalation or skin contact can lead to symptoms such as skin rashes, headaches, dizziness, and nausea. People with sensitivities to fungicides may also experience more severe allergic reactions, including difficulty breathing, wheezing, or an asthma-like response. Long-term exposure to trifloxystrobin has been linked to potential liver and kidney toxicity.

What can I do about it?

To reduce exposure, always wear protective gloves, goggles, and a mask when applying Network. Ensure the area is well-ventilated to avoid inhaling fumes. If you are sensitive to fungicides, consider using organic alternatives like neem oil or sulfur-based fungicides, which tend to have fewer harmful effects.
