Neem oil safe?

Hi All,
So I've been trying to battle some pests that have invaded my garden (specifically flea beetles) and so far none of the organic pesticide recipes I've tried have worked. After doing some research I came across something called Neem oil which is supposedly supposed to work wonderfully as a pesticide. However, I did some more research, and I've found some articles on WebMD and other sites that say that Neem oil can be very toxic when ingested and that it can have very serious effects on children especially. Seeing as I'd be spraying Neem on vegetables that my family and I will be eating, I'm kind of worried about using it in my garden. Does anybody have an opinion about Neem, specifically it health effects? Are there any other organic pesticide recipes you guys could recommend instead? Thanks!
