Can house pesticides like Raid for mosquitos cause cancer in humans?


I was just wondering if theres any link to it....i got it on my self twice by acciednt but i wiped it off fast and didnt get sick from it but was just wondering how safe it is for humans....i know you can get poisoned though if you have bad exposure....

Yes, it is true and it's mostly long term exposure that cause problems. Not just cancer but many other diseases. Children are most vulnerable.

Your exposure is minimal and you should suffer no ill effects, since you washed it off and also since you are not a child.
On the other hand, if you do this several times a week while also inhaling the pesticide, it could be a problem.

i do not know anything about a Cancer, but i do know you can get sick with all this rodents,and mosquito's

Raid for mosquitos? I use a mosquito magnet (a little expensive: propane to burn & ocetonal & Lurex attractants.) Use a oil-based fogger a few times durring the summer if I have to, but the darned trap works pretty well.

No! It's just cancerous just to mosquitoes.......NOT!
You silly goose...you know all pesticides and most chemicals including toothpaste have been linked to cancer in humans. The big question is are you going to get cancer from your little exposure. Probably not...You're going to live a long happy life and then die in some dramatic car chase that ends in a fiery explosion after you've been chased down by cops for stealing your great grand kids car from your nursing home parking lot. You would have made it, but you hadn't had an eyeglass prescription change for a number of years so you never saw that idiot pull out in front. The idiot was on his cell phone.

Cancer from anything can be caused by prolonged exposure. Short term exposures, while unpleasant, are unlikely to manifest themselves in cancer or any other disease in the future.
