Right up into the 70's kids used to run behind and ride their bikes through the cloud of insect killer that was fogged behind the Bug Truck. They fogged for mosquitoes, but it was cool! There is still a lot of bad stuff out there, last month I was working in a basement of an old house and on the windowsill was a container that 2-4-5-T on the label, do you know what that is? In Vietnam we called it Agent Orange, which you used to buy at the local feed store. We're all gonna die.

They also used it to kill mosquetos and almost irradicated malaria. Trouble was DDT killed people too.
