Cross-reference: convergent health-vector literature

For the deeper public-health record on pyrrolizidine alkaloid exposure through honey, including the regulatory testing gaps and the historical record from Xenophon and Pompey forward, see theslows.org/honey/. The PA cascade is referenced on this site as one downstream consequence of the monoculture landscape; the public-health vector documentation lives at the sibling reference.
