The report acknowledges that some of the ailments suffered by people in the Monterey and Santa Cruz areas - namely asthma and reactive airway disease - "may be associated with exposure to a sensitizer or allergen."

from article:

Recent information on the moth eradication program makes clear what many people have suspected: The CDFA's program has been a grand - or grave - experiment on the people's health without their informed consent.

Thanks for this Larry. The POISONING of the American People must stop. I have severe asthma due to this kind of environmental spraying. Gasping for air, every breath is a difficult way to live...it shortened my life's work as a teacher by 10 years. I have had to deal with the problem for just 5 years; what a horrible and difficult life for our youngsters who suffer this disability lifelong....to poison a moth!!?? No ones Lifelong Health should be injured by POISON SPRAYING.
