It's not about killing a human but causing other issues. Xenoestrogens accumulate and as you eat something that grew up around it you accumulate some of that too. For older people it may be fine but at younger ages they wreak havoc, accelerate sexual development but at the same time cause fertility issues like reduced sperm counts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenoestrogen#Mechanism_of_action https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenoestrogen#Mechanism_of_acti...).
Sure at the time some of these studies maybe were unknown but I think it's always worth asking yourself if you spray some new chemical that you know is great at killing some harmful wildlife around people in a faraway country, will it also harm people in that country for generations.
