The single argument yet to be made is the reason the mosquitoes develop resistance and people are just too big, they get sick instead. 

The reason for emotionality does not always constitute intelligent thought.

To some it's a simple breath they took , to others it's a bite they ate, however, to anyone exposed to fog, it's dermal absorption, it goes right through the skin into the blood, thus, for all it is a matter of living on earth where billions of lbs of toxic chemicals are used every year globally, to the extent that the entire earth and all living things are contaminated.

People have developed allergies to just about everything, likely due to contamination of toxic chemicals such as pesticides. The more exposure to toxins the more likely the development of allergic or toxic reactions.

When one has become sensitized to a specific toxic chemical the more likely they develop reactions to other toxic chemicals in the most minute amounts.

Anyone that has taken a drug and gotten an adverse or allergic reaction is predisposed to pesticides as they are made with the same chemicals by the same manufacturers.

Ten important facts to remember:

  1. There is no such thing as a safe pesticide. A pesticide can not be used safely.  Many so-called household cleaners are pesticides registered with the EPA. If a product has an EPA Registration Number, that is a warning that it is toxic. Check the laundry detergent and all household cleaning products as well for EPA Registration Numbers. If it has one consider it toxic and recognize you may have a toxic reaction for up to 48 hours after exposure. Symptoms may be a slight feeling, such as if coming down with a cold or flu, or maybe a rash or headache, or a sore throat or ear pain, or in the vaguest terms irritability and or depression or one might think they have a serious case of the flu, an asthma attack or a heart attack. Symptoms subside after 3 days. Chronic exposures cause chronic symptoms.
  2. Most people, including medical professionals and Government officials, are not aware of the health effects of exposure to pesticides.
  3. If you can smell a pesticide you are exposed.
  4. All pesticides are toxic chemicals that poison everything in their pathway.
  5. Pesticides permeate into everything and can not be cleaned up or washed out or rinsed off.
  6. Pesticides can biodegrade into more toxic compounds.
  7. Some pesticides are very persistent with a long half-life and bio-accumulate up the food chain.
  8. Pesticides are made from petroleum (oil/petrochemicals).
  9. The formulation is often more toxic than each of the chemicals singly.
  10. The so-called "inert" ingredients are now referred to as "other" ingredients because they are often more toxic than the active ingredient, which is considered the pesticide (example: Lindane is 1% active ingredient 99% other such as acetone or trade secrets. However when testing for lindane only the lindane can be detected).
