The report showed that newborns in Ecuador at that time had a 0.22% risk of being born with a birth defect. In the banana provinces, however, the risk was 2.58% \u2013 more than eleven times higher.<\/p><p>Sara\u2019s dreams are for her children \u2013 that they will go to school and have the choice to work somewhere other than on the banana plantations.<\/p><p>\u201cI just want my children to get an education, so they don\u2019t end up like me. \u00a0I hope they won\u2019t end up working on a banana plantation where they spray pesticides, and where the same thing might happen to them as happened to my brother. \u00a0He didn\u2019t go to school either \u2013 couldn\u2019t write his name \u2013 and that\u2019s why he ended up on the banana plantation.\u201d<\/p><p>Outside, the heat is dry and penetrating. \u00a0A woman sits nursing her baby just a few meters from edge of a banana plantation.<\/p><h4>My child\u2019s illness was caused by the pesticides<\/h4><p>In one of the neighbouring houses lives Gregoria Ram\u00edrez. \u00a0She is 45 years old and worked for 11 years on a banana plantation. \u00a0She has four children.<\/p><p>On March 9, 2011, her life and the life of her family changed forever. \u00a0Gregoria\u2019s fourth child, Taison, was born with multiple birth defects \u2013 a hole in the spine, a missing testicle, and a twisted foot.<\/p><p>\u201cI asked at the hospital what had caused it, and they said it was the chemicals. \u00a0They asked me if I had worked with bananas. \u00a0I said that yes, I worked on a banana plantation, and so did my husband. \u00a0The doctors told me that was the cause. \u00a0That if you work with those chemicals and become

their assessment that her son\u2019s conditions were related to pesticides in writing. \u00a0But when we show her son Taison\u2019s medical records to specialist Maldonado, he has no doubt.<\/p><p>\u201cThese are absolutely typical symptoms of effects from these pesticides,\u201d Maldonado says.<\/p><p>Gregoria has not been back to work on the plantation since Taison was born. She dedicates all her time to caring for her son, who is now six years old. \u00a0He still uses a diaper, and probably will for the rest of his life, Gregoria says.<\/p><p>\u201cWho knows how long he will live,\u201d she says.<\/p><p>Her husband and two of their children still work on the plantation. \u00a0He declined to be interviewed by Danwatch, because he is afraid of losing his job or getting into trouble for speaking with a journalist about such things.<\/p><h4>\u201cIt is wrong of them to spray\u201d<\/h4><p>Here in the village, the community is accustomed to the weekly flights of the crop dusters.<\/p><p>\u201cIt is wrong of them to spray. \u00a0When the crop dusters come, we hurry into the house because it stinks. \u00a0The smell gets into the house as well. \u00a0The fluid sticks to the plants and floats on the water in the river like oil. \u00a0I think it\u2019s wrong, but there\u2019s no other work here. \u00a0They have to work there.\u201d<\/p><p>So says another of Gregoria\u2019s neighbours, Cerilo Calder\u00f3n. \u00a0He was fired from the banana plantation a few years ago after losing his sight. \u00a0He believes it was because of the pesticides, but he has no written diagnosis to back him up.<\/p><p>All the houses in the village have similar stories to tell, and all the stories revolve around the words sickness, bananas, and pesticides.<\/p><h4>\u201cI just hope my son doesn\u2019t end up like me\u201d<\/h4><p>We also meet a 28-year-old banana worker, whom we will call David, who wished to remain anonymous out of fear of losing his job and getting in other trouble. \u00a0He has worked clearing out damaged banana plants for three years.<\/p><p>David lives 200 meters from a banana plantation and sits facing the road with his sleeping three-month-old son.<\/p><p>\u201cI want the best for my son. \u00a0I don\u2019t want him to end up like me, working on a banana plantation,\u201d David says.<\/p><p>He is very aware of the many chemicals involved in the work he does.<\/p><p>\u201cWhen they spray from the air and we are working down below, our entire body starts to itch. \u00a0They spray some really strong chemicals.\u201d<\/p><p>Gramoxone, Basta, Glyphosate.
