It seems from what Gary says that you have to spray quite carefully,
directing the spray at the caterpillars or potential caterpillars rather

Naah.... you just make sure you wet both top and bottom of all the leaves
with the spray want... takes me only a few seconds per plant.
And a previous comment was right; it's bacillus thurigensis, a disease of
certain caterpillers. Not good if it's produced in mass quantities by
bioengineered corn, because it kills monarch butterfly larvae. But
harmless to humans. Unless, of course, your great-grandfather was a
cabbage worm.
