Gee, doing that in Alaska will get you in big trouble. The

without notification.

Correct in Utah as well. We live in a mosquito abatement area
(wetlands... in a high desert state yet!), and aerial pesticide spraying
happens every year. Well before spraying begins, all residents must be
notified of when and where spraying will done, and what agent will be
sprayed.


Some people are allergic to certain ag
chemicals, like me. (What's with people suddenly becoming
allergic to so many things these days? I can't even walk down
the laundry soap isle in the grocery store anymore, and I don't
have a bad case of "chemical sensitivity" or whatever they're
calling it this week.)

People are suddenly becoming sensitive to so many things because we are
exposed to so many things, much more than before. It's in everything we
eat, drink, wear and breathe.
