Dr. Larry Rose, M.D., MPH is a former Senior Public Medical Officer for Cal-OSHA and part of the UCSF Occupational/Environmental Medicine Department. He has published this incredibly important report to inform California physicians and the public about the dire toxicity of the ingredients in LBAM Spray.

From the report:
Checkmate Toxicology
Immediate short term acute health concerns are to be expected from the known toxicology of several of the chemicals in the Checkmate formulation mix and in the polyurea plastic particulate capsule.

Over 643 recorded health complaints were associated with the September, October, and November spraying in Monterey and Santa Clara Counties. These short term complaint symptoms are consistent with known toxicology scientific information of the ingredients of Checkmate (see attached document). These ingredients include irritants, sensitizers, nervous system disrupters, endocrine disruption, allergens, and hypersensitivity induction.

Long term health effects are also of concern due to the known induced mutations and suspected cancer risks of constituent chemicals.

This report needs to be in the hands of every California medical practitioner within the huge spray zone and a copy needs to be hand-delivered to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. CDFA needs to stop calling this witch’s brew of carcinogenic chemicals safe if they don’t want to end up in prison and, if our governor wants to stay in office, he needs to call this chemical assault on the people of California off!

Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Larry Rose, M.D, MPH, for doing his duty in reporting on the true public health danger he has recognized in the aerial spraying of pesticides and toxic chemicals on the people of California.

Update:
I also want to include in this post a link to the toxicology study conducted by Richard B. Philp, DVM, PhD, Emertius Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Western Ontario.

If you have yet to read Dr. Philp’s analysis of the grave toxicity of the LBAM spray, here it is.
