US Air Force Sprays Harvey-Stricken Texas With Controversial Chemicals
September 15, 2017 | RT.com | RT.com | 1,729 views


The US Air Force is spraying 6 million acres in Texas with potentially harmful insecticides, as the state tries to rid itself of swarms of mosquitoes nesting in flooded areas after Hurricane Harvey.

The work began this past weekend with the military using low-flying C-130 cargo planes to douse three counties with Naled, an organophosphate (OP) insecticide, according to Reuters.

They've flown over my house twice in the last few days.

It's tough because the bugs will bring a lot of problems.
Fools mock, tongues wag, babies cry and goats bleat.

Note the words "potentially harmful."  Sounds to me like no one knows for sure if they are harmful.  Could be some hyperventilating enviro-weenie making the claim.  Thanks to these radicals, some of the best pesticides have been banned, maybe replaced by the ones that do nothing to rid us of harmful bugs.
