Steve Tvedten of Get Set, Inc.'s email to Lyndon Hawkins of the California Department of Pesticide Regulation relating actual cases of pesticide poisoning while the CDPR does nothing.

Questions have been asked of the California Department of Pesticide Control since Fontana Unified School District declined to consider a pesticide free IPM program because of the Department of Agriculture's opinion about only utilizing registered pesticides to eliminate pests.  The California Department of Pesticide Regulation has remained silent and not responded to these issues:

Mr Hawkins, Are you aware that just the "registered" chlorpyrifos (poison) in Dursban/Lorsban attacks the central nervous system so effectively that less than one-fifth of an ounce is sufficient to kill an adult human being?   It, obviously, takes less of this "registered" poison to kill children, sick people, old people and pets!

Under common law it is illegal for anyone to put poison in his neighbor's well, air or food.  Most civilized coutries consider if you violate that common law, it is murder!

But, under California "law" if you  first pay a poison "registration" fee -- you may "legally" poison your neighbor, his wife, his children, his environment, including his air, his water/well, his pets, his livestock and his food!

Don't you think that is just a little strange?
