Don't Eat the Strawberries!
Methyl iodide is so toxic that chemists use it to induce cancer cell growth in labs.

While it is currently legal in 47 states, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has said that they will consider banning this toxic pesticide--depending on what California does about it.
