The Effect Of Insecticide On The Fetus
The first few months of pregnancy are a critical period for fetal brain development. If a mother is pregnant in the summer, she will inevitably be exposed to pesticides. "People use pesticides in farms and homes, and people have the most exposure to pesticides in the summer. Continuous exposure to pesticides can affect the hormone secretion of pregnant women, which affects fetal brain development."
Supporting this conclusion, there is also an earlier study by Winchester that found that excessive exposure to pesticides in pregnant women may cause premature babies; insecticides may cause thyroid disease in pregnant mothers, which may affect fetal development.
But some researchers have also suggested other explanations. They believe that the food that mothers consume during pregnancy is closely related to the season, and that there are different epidemics in each season of the year. Both of these factors can affect neonatal health and brain development.
