Re: cayenne
This is true of almost anything people put on their plants/soil. The
chances of harm are low for the small amount that actually gets to the soil
from the occasional use of this spray. Especially if you compare the use of
this spray to the use of other, more harmful insecticides.
I acknowledge and agree with your point. People do need to be cautious with
folk remedies, no matter what they are for. However, that does not mean
that they're use is not beneficial and should not be explored. As we have
seen through history, not all scientifically developed methods are safe
either.
