The last time I used malathion was when I helped my next-door-neighbour-at-the-time spray her crabapple tree for tent caterpillars back in my pre-teen years. I can still recognize the smell. In fact, a couple of months ago I thought one of the orchard keepers in Ukiha—I wrote about Ukiha a few days ago—was washing the leaves of the peach trees until I caught a whiff of the mist. Definitely malathion. He had a huge drum of the solution on the back of his truck, and was spending about 15 minutes on each tree. He was wearing one of those flimsy dust masks that you can get in a 5-pack for a couple of bucks at Canadian Tire. Pat, thanks for the info.

After the fogging, only the strongest mosquitoes and humans will survive, I guess. Or perhaps they'll mutate. Hi, Ed,
