Hey you guys,
You want to be very careful when using Tree Guard. Last time I sprayed my
Azaleas and Rhodies with that stuff I had to come inside the house and
decontaminate. Fixed a pan of double fudge brownies with black walnuts... only
thing that saved from a fate worse than whatever. In fact, I still have side
effects to this day and must continually find sources of chocolate to hold off the
symptoms and side effects.
I understand that if you place marshmallow and/or crunchy peanutbutter into
the brownies (with extra chocolate chips) the symptoms can be held off for almost
a week before they return.
I am not an MD and do not play one on TV, but I did feel the need to pass this
vital information along to my fellow gardeners... whom I care dearly for. You all
take care of yourself and your health. Fix some brownies today just in case the
effects may be sneaking up on you and you are not even aware.
