Chris,
Agreed....I'm certainly not planning on smearing it all over my body, but
with judicious use, it almost certainly isn't going to cause any major
problems. At least personally, I usually apply any pesticide/fungicide at a
lower concentration than recommended by the manufacturer any way. Remember,
they're only banning it for RESIDENTIAL use at this time, because many people
tend to abuse/overuse these types of substances. If it was truly a major
health concen (ala DDT), it would probably be banned completely.
Sincerely,
Craig
