Air-raid sirens would get the point across better. One thing I want to clarify, in case I've not been clear - I was not in the Central Coast during the 2007 spraying. Your comment above makes me think you got this idea somehow. No, I wasn't there. Mim Hi Donna,

One thing I want to clarify, in case I’ve not been clear – I was not in the Central Coast during the 2007 spraying. Your comment above makes me think you got this idea somehow. No, I wasn’t there.

The whole mentality of 'do first, think later' seems to be CDFA's specialty. I am so, so sorry about the illness the 2007 spray caused you, Donna. It outrages me. Mim Hi Donna -

I am so, so sorry about the illness the 2007 spray caused you, Donna. It outrages me.

I let them know it was a crime not to warn me, a visitor to Monterey and Santa Cruz about the dangerous air in the month of November. To think I was there in large part to breathe clean air and write an article for my blog Chasing Clean Air. Had I known about the poisonous reproductive-system-interfering-aerial-sprayed-pesticide, I would never had ventured into those areas, especially with my particular health history. I mention this to you and your readers, because wherever we live, we need to contact the appropriate Sacramento-based representative for our district. It's their job to "protect" us and warn us about mass poisoning should we travel, in this case, within California. The government warned me before I traveled to Israel several years ago, saying it could be dangerous. I expect the same warnings should I consider a venture into a spray zone, only more stringent. I did go to Israel during a war, which was a piece of cake compared to venturing into Monterey and Santa Cruz after pesticide sprayings, which disrupted my body's normal menstrual functions and contributed to a migraine.
