Did anyone have the good sense to save all these messages about Cygon? And
if you did, will you share with Kathyguest, please. I hear over and over and
over how deadly this stuff is... and I cling to a comment made at a Siberian
Iris Convention some time ago, by Dr. Robert Hollingworth "Actually, Cygon
is not particularly dangerous"... and he went on to discuss why. Since this
is his area of expertise, I have trotted the comment out many times, but it
would be great to have more commentary... maybe even for publishing in the
"Irisborer" (our local newsletter - it's a Zen thing... one with the
iris...).
As for me, I rely on Cygon, but I usually have Mr. Guest do the work with a
good knapsack-style sprayer, which he turns to a thin stream for drenching.
Since my lungs are already compromised, I just don't want to take the chance
of irritating them... but that's the only reason - and I have snuck out there
myself because I'm compulsive and sure he missed some. That's about the only
pesticide OR herbicide I use... mainly because I don't believe in wholesale
spraying and I'm too disorganized to research what pest is causing me harm
... well, except for those striped rats... the last of which was transported
by the aforementioned Mr. Guest to a forest far away after he fell for the
peanut-butter-on-a saltine- peanut-butter-side-down-on-the-hav-a-hart
trap-spring trick!
Kathyguest... who needs to go the store RIGHT NOW
