For the original writer, one cannot ask a question here some days without a

cursing? You could just be silent if you are unable to countenance a comment.
Here is one side from an owner of Laurus nobilis or the bay tree. Malathion
is the same family of chemicals as Lindane. Lindane is what the doctor paints
your kids with if they come home from school with scabies. If you take a cruise
and put a patch behind your ear for mal-de-mer, it is an organo-phosphate.
Neither is a human disaster used in small quantities though the Malathion won't
cure the scale problem on just one try. These are organo-phosphates, a term
with organic gardener problems. The term sets off numerous uninformed
speeches.

See
http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopag...lindanePHA.htm for the
FDA's current recommendation on the use of Lindane for treating
scabies and lice. It's still approved for use with qualifications,
but they certainly don't view it as benign.

I do agree with you that people who post sincere questions here should
be treated with respect. It makes much more sense to educate than it
does to berate.
