[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 8025823, member: 54866"] OPs have been used [I]on[/I] people before and in big doses. Some people do not react well to them. It is true there are links between certain pesticides and long term degenerative illnesses but these products will have been banned 20 years or more now. I think OPs were done away with mostly because they were so persistent and an environmental nightmare. Spray operators must must must wear gloves, apron and face visor when handling chemicals- the main danger to them is not from the dilute spray but when handling the concentrate, eye or skin splashes or inhaling fumes, all best avoided. Although I would be willing to bet most chemicals and their formulations are a lot kinder to humans than they were 30 or 40 years before. Grain store insecticides are the products that would worry me. Need a proper mask for that. [/QUOTE]
