Did a pesticide used on fruit farms in Nicaragua poison people?

A pesticide sprayed on plantations in Nicaragua for decades, continues to cause controversy and alleged illness. Northern Nicaragua was once abundant with agricultural wealth. But locals say that changed when a pesticide began to be sprayed on fields and adversely affected worker’s health. They say it’s still causing problems today.The origins of bananas go back thousands of years to Southeast Asia. Today Latin America exports more bananas globally than any other region in the world. But like other crops, it’s vulnerable to disease and is no stranger to pesticides.
