I will address this though.
"I posted a link to a study at the NIH that raises allergenicity concerns."
These were farm workers who came in contact with bt in the field.One can only assume it was at an organic farm because that is where it is primarily used.I am not a farm worker at an organic farm so I don't see how this should concern me.

You do realize that the BT the farm workers were spraying is now in your food because GMO technology causes the plants to produce it, right?

How Bt Works

What’s wonderful about Bt-toxin is that it’s only toxic to insect larvae. Rather than referring to Bt compounds as “toxins,” it would probably be more accurate to call them proteins. Unless you happen to be a larval-stage weevil or gypsy moth, in which case the description of what happens in the ad is fairly accurate: it binds to your gut, ruptures your intestines and you die.

Since I'm not a weevil I'm not worried
