Fog from DDT Trucks
My husband used to play with his friends in the "fog" from DDT trucks in the 1950's. Apparently this was a pretty common thing for kids to do then. The trucks would come by once a week when he lived in Hawaii to spray for mosquitoes. No one at that time thought it could be harmful.
Even though he is basically healthy he has been having some tingling and cramping in his hands and feet. The doctor has checked him out with a few tests, and it stopped for awhile. It seems to be back now so after remembering the DDT exposure I talked him in to getting tested for pesticides and DDT. Should be interesting. He is going to go in before my appointment on Wednesday.
