The line of my house was sprayed with this stuff, barely 20 feet from my house, twice up and down the fence line. This can take up to 4 days to disapear.
We can smell it all over the yard
the cats have run away
my dog is subject to breathing it in
My lungs are burning and i am dizzy and have a headache.
We were not warned.
These men were not wearing any protective gear while they were spraying, but they stated well enough what it was when my dad confronted them about spraying this toxin into our property
According to regulations of using the chemical, they are required to wear masks and full body suits to prevent exposure, and those suits are required TO BE REPLACED and/or watched separatly.
They are required to LET PEOPLE KNOW before they start spraying, especially if it is within 200 meters within the range of a school because it is dangerous to people. This stuff can infect water supply, and can injure plants and crops that aren’t even directly sprayed with the stuff.
I need resources.
Breathing or drinking and eating anything after exposure can be dangerous.Â
I’ve had enough of this poison being sprayed lightly when it has caused so many problems in both wanted plants and humans and pets! We’ve got to stop this!Â
24-D is a cause of many hormonal problems, liver failuer, and there are cases suggesting it can lead to cancer with enough exposure.Â
I’m not the only one facing this problem, am i? This should be illegal, right?Â
If anyone knows if regulations and is subject to being sprayed with this stuff, if you have a story, write it below!
Regulations might be different for particular states and countries.
I’ll update this if i find anymore.
