Come strategize about how to stop Cambridge's pesticide spraying for West
Nile Virus, the "non-epidemic" which has only killed 7 people in two years!
Last summer Cambridge was sprayed three times, blanketing the City twice
(excluding East Cambridge). The pyrethroids used are neurotoxic and
carcinogenic. Yet there was inadequate warning and no HONEST explanation
of the health hazards involved last summer.
CAMBRIDGE PLANS TO SPRAY AGAIN NEXT MOSQUITO SEASON
and to hold a hearing on the subject in January.
