Question from HEG
I just learned that starting next week all of Miami will be sprayed during the night with Dibrom from aerial planes to control mosquitos. I understand that Dibrom is an organophosphate pesticide and listed as a carcinogen and potential neurotoxin. I have already called and begged them not to spray it in my neighborhood. Any advice about what to do?

First of all, even if you could get them to not spray in your neighborhood, it wouldn’t do much good. Aerial spraying blows with the wind, and you would get it anyway.
Many years ago, we went through this in California with malathion spraying. We just left while they were spraying. Or you could stay indoors with an air filter.
Do what you can to support your detox system, like drinking lots of water, eat organic fruits and vegetables, and take detox drops.
