The fact that a chemical has been approved for whatever use does not
mean it is harmless. DDT is a glaring example. Not that I'm saying
this will have the same effect as DDT, but there are other indirect
effects that may not have been thoroughly researched, such as
allergies. Mine are so bad that I have yet to find a pesticide,
herbicide, or fungicide that I can be around, and believe me, we've
searched.

With that in mind, would you share with us where exactly you've been
spraying all these herbicides Dennis? It sounds like yet another
place that I can't go if I want to breathe.
