The spray is Bt.



with all due respect the spray is not BT.
the active ingredient is BTk.
98% of the spray is Ingredients identified in the Foray 48B spray are
methyl paraben


Methylparaben has been around for years and is in many products that
you probably handle every day.
It is added to products for longer shelf life.

(methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate), benzoic acid/sodium benzoate,
propylene glycol, potassium sorbate, sorbitol, hydrochloric acid,
and polyacrylic acid.


The other ingredients - Btk, fermentation solids and water - are already
publicly known.



all harmless by themselves but some people react badly to this combination
in a very fine aerosol when inhaled


Why should people react to a combination when you state all harmless
by themselves? Does not make sense.
