#malathion
I have a temporary eye patch in one of our family photos because I ballerina-twirled into my mom's Marlboro Red when I was 3. It's just how we lived. I grew up on malathion and side-stream smoke so I know a Better World is Possible.

california in 1989 when a bioterror cell protesting the use of malathion released thousands of medflies in a coordinated attack and they responded with dozens more malathion sprayings before releasing their own sterilized medflies. yes this really happened. only way to stop a bad guy with a bug etc

Thinking up a happy jingle for Malathion insecticide while droplets of it land all over my body

Today’s ruling comes in response to our challenge of the Service’s 2022 final biological opinion on malathion, which concluded that the pesticide does not pose an extinction risk to a single protected species of wildlife or plant.

Not just non-Americans, either! I was traumatized by the low-flying helicopters spraying malathion in the 80s...

They shook everything!

"The new cell-based tests and computer techniques ... can be reliable predictors of straightforward effects like eye or skin irritation. But they are not yet up to the task of modeling the complex, real-world learning disorders that have been linked to acephate and malathion"
10 Times as Much of This Toxic Pesticide Could End Up on Your Tomatoes & Celery Under New EPA Proposal

Just had a wonderful (/s) conversation with the same almost-divorced cousin about how he hates all bugs and enjoys losing down his house and yard with malathion and diazinon.

I worked for a crop dusting outfit. DDT was like 3 bucks a gallon and the company made lots of money. They claimed that DuPont or whoever payed Carson to write that book so they would be forced to use Malathion @ 60 dollars a gallon. These people are all Trump voters.

If you want a
hellspawn chemical that could change the brain/nervous system of a fetus I am always surprised that organophosphates are still legal. Literal nerve agents developed by nazis and sprayed on our food

Disulfoton
Acephate
Chlorpyrifos/Dursban
Diazinon
Fenthion
Malathion
Parathion

Cesar Chavez was an amazing human rights activist! In CA, the farmers were flying over the pickers and dropping malathion poison on them. They cared more about their crops than their workers. Chavez said NO FUCKING WAY and led one f the most successful boycotts in CA, grapes were boycotted.

Débunk de cette annotation trompeuse

La section "substance chimique" (0.1%) ne contient que l'arsenic dans l'eau et le benzène à l'intérieur des bâtiments

Seuls 3 pesticides interdits (lindane, diazinon, malathion - ça ne sont pas des néonicotinoïdes) depuis un moment sont considérés

No, I'm not bringing unregulated backyard citrus into California I had to live through the Malathion spraying of the 80s!

Yeah

I grew up with helicopters being used for malathion spraying and police surveillance and that whupwhupwhup is always activating for me
At least the helicopter hovering over us is listed as ABC news. But I really wish they wouldn't. Hearing helicopters right now is like hearing a dog growl after you've been bitten. A bit triggering!

this time, the villain is a convict named Malathion who busts out of jail, walks through some area where pesticides (?) are being sprayed, and it turns her hair green. it also makes her hate the environment, I guess? but mostly just commits a string of robberies

Two sisters in the Vice Academy try to thwart the crime wave wrought by escaped convict Malathion, who got her name after being exposed to toxic chemicals. An honest new recruit does such a good job at arresting Malathion's gang that the sisters are taken

So back when the Mediterranean fruit fly was the agricultural pest du jour, the decision was made to spray malathion from helicopters to kill off the little buggers. My dad became legendary in our neighborhood for putting on “Ride of the Valkyries” at full volume as they came over.

Malathion smells like what a robot would shit

Held a press conference to performativey drink a glass of malathion to prove it was safe to spray all over the city/us.
Whoo boy, you should have seen the color drain from his face when told the liquid in the glass had been replaced with the actual pesticide.

Ich habe in meinen Unterlagen nachgeschaut: Malathion 0.5% liquid und sehr, sehr starke Antihistamine
