Attention:

If you are resident of San Jose or Sunnyvale, California, please take heed.

The California Department of Food and Agriculture is covering your local neighborhoods with extremely dangerous, toxic twist ties which will be applied to trees.

CDFA’s own site has maps of the areas they intend to festoon with these dangerous materials right here.

As you can see from the maps of San Jose and Sunnyvale, the twist ties will be right in suburban neighborhoods, where children, pets, wild birds and squirrels will be playing in, under and around the trees where these toxins have been placed by CDFA.

CDFA is acting without the slightest regard for the health and safety of children, pets and wildlife.

Be advised that animals such as raccoons, cats or squirrels may remove the ties from trees and drop them on the ground around your home where your children may pick them up, directly exposing their skin and eyes to the toxins the orange-flagged ties are coated in.

Contact Poison Control immediately if your child climbs a tree or picks up a fallen twist tie in the twist tie zones shown on the map.

Call Poison Control At: (800) 222-1222

There is additional danger that nesting birds may pick up the ties for testing material and may drop them any where in the region while in flight.

Be on the lookout for these dangerous orange-flagged ties.

It is a violation of your constitutional right to privacy and safety to have strangers come on your private land without your consent. It is egregiously wrong that CDFA intends not only to trespass on private land, but that they are doing so in order to cover your land with a substance which makes your property toxic and dangerous for you, your family and pets.

I will end this public service warning by stating that there has been some talk this week of being able to legally block CDFA from entering private, residential property. If any of my readers has concrete information about how to do this, I know all of my readers will be very grateful to understand what their rights are and to learn how they can protect themselves from this terribly toxic assault.
