All this from a 'safe" chemical. Children are much less prone to self induced hysteria so these symptoms were real.

Safe chemical? NOT!

They will be spraying the SF Bay area (Where we live) in August and will be back in the Monterey Area in June. I will be keeping close tabs.

The tyrants of this world are trying to kill us as quietly as they can by poisoning us (especially in well-populated areas like in California, Florida, & Texas). The wicked won't stop until they're destroyed.

Terrible, fred, Yyuckk!

Star'd!

That poor infant, i hope he gets better as he grows. And all the other cases
that came in... Man, i hope you can stay outta the 'spray zone'.

You are commended, for being in the health field, to help others!

Well, crap. Im not even 3 miles from you.

I didnt see any spraying though... i hope i dont get sick from this.

Jeeze, "safe" chemicals? More like "let's experiment on the population."

I hope the young lad gets better, and the rest of them as well.
