I hope this doesn't qualify for dumb question of the week but- As I
understand it when using toxic products iin the garden, the worst exposure
risk is during the mixing phase. As in the case of Cygon E used as a drench
on the plant, care should also be taken to not get solution on bare skin and
care taken not to inhale any aresol that might be present. I believe the
product is a systemic toxin taken up by the plant which then is toxic to the
borer. My question is, how long is the soil that is also drenched toxic?
Should care be taken to not expose bare skin to treated soil for a period of
time. Is there a time after which the toxins are broken down, diluted by
rain or no longer effective? Am I being overly cautious?
