Not having anything even resembling the EPA in Saudi, does that mean 'pure naplam'?

Lol. Close. They have SO much money and NO rules that I could get ANYTHING. I got stuff that was DEFINITELY illegal here. But...it killed those bugs!!
My thinking: it's their country and if they think it's okay to have all those DREADFUL pesticides, then ok.

I can remember our camp being sprayed. A HUGE Mercedes Benz tanker truck pulled up to our softball diamond. We had complained about the mosquitoes, so this tanker truck pulled up. We all thought, "Nah they wouldn't SPRAY us...that would KILL us like it kills the bugs."

Well they did spray and we coughed and coughed and coughed for 15 minutes. Geez!!!!! We should have known better. That is what they DO! Rather than 30 women complaining to the company about the mosquitoes...they sprayed -- us too.

Do you remember the cartoons where the bug is sprayed and it drops STRAIGHT DOWN? It was a cartoon, but that is what the bugs did when sprayed with STRAIGHT DDT--illegal here but used there. Lord, it probably shortened my life by 10 years!!

I got attacked by at least 40 mosquitos including the black ones with white stripes at a party last weekend: I have a stiff neck, sick, probably have West Nile, malaria and God knows what else including heartworms.

When I lived in Guantanamo Bay back in the 60s they would drive a DDT fog truck through the housing area every few days. It was so dense you couldn’t see a thing. We thought it was great fun to run behind the truck in the white fog.

Probably explains a LOT about me.
