Regarding your question about the twist ties, here is what I know. I have spoken to several women who have Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and who were present at hearings where the twist ties were on display. They got sick from this exposure and experienced things like headache, ringing in the ears, soar throat, burning eyes and chronic fatigue symptoms. So, if you feel you are sensitive, you need to know that exposure to the twist ties could cause you harm. I hope this is useful (if not happy) information for you. The LBAM fight is still going on and we are not giving up. I so hope you are still experiencing relief in your new home in the North, Donna. Kind Regards, Mim Greetings, Donna,

I saw a number of Pesticide! Poison Keep Out signs because so much of the west coast is farm land. I stayed awhile in Anderson (Mt. Shasta area) near a lot of farms. I met a young couple who'd recently been relocated for a few days due to Driscoll Farms use of Methyl Bromide, a toxic pesticide used on their strawberry fields. One of their neighbors outside of the "safety zone", according to Driscoll, felt she'd been pepper sprayed in the eyes shortly after pesticide field work began. I'm about to drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles and considered stopping at a winery near Cupertino, which prompted me to look into the Light Brown Apple Moth, since in 2007 I had the eerie timing of being there for the unpublicized aerial pesticide spray that made me feel sick. I just learned there's now Brown Apple Moth Twist Ties in areas I might drive through. I wonder if you know how this method impacts humans? Thanks for your work.
