Pesticide: Not for Wusses




Dear reader,

Usually, I am all for organic stuff, but I draw the line very clearly with mosquitos. I am so totally not organic, but am actively conventional. There is a point at which public health concerns far outweigh any antipesticide wussiness. DEET! I'd rather bathe in the stuff than risk malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, epidemic polyarthritis, Rift Valley fever, Ross River Fever, St. Louis encephalitis, West Nile virus(WNV), Japanese encephalitis, LaCross encephalitis, etc.
