Default Captan Fungicide

Hi all, I just want to remind you that Captan is a known carcinogen
(by the State of Florida) so be very careful not to expose yourself to
it on your skin or inhaling the dust. I used to use it very carelessly
years ago, not knowing. Now I use cinnamon in it's place most times.

It appears that another great product has been taken off the market. I
was at my local nursery yesterday where I have purchased Captan for a
number of years only to be told that they "can no longer get anything
that works". Although Captan is still available in some states, it is
no longer available in California, Alaska, Hawaii and a few other
states. So, without warning it has been banned here.

I called one nursery only to find that the product was also used on
horses in the saddle area to eliminate fungus. I don't recall seeing
that the product was supposed to be for horses and animals.
