I don't know anybody that's died from bug spray.
Hundreds of thousands have died from mosquito borne illness.
Down with the mosquito!

It is a balance that is hard to find malathion and parathion are the common insecticides used today the problem is that these two not only work on insects but can also work on humans the balance is in how each of these is handled if they are properly handled there should not be a problem

Millions have died from mosquito born illnesses.
Todays pesticides (such as malathion) are of very low toxicity to mammals.
Also, they are unstable in sunlight.
Spray @ night, gone the next day.
It's a very one sided equation.
