| WHAT'S
HAPPENING:
The California Department of Food and
Agriculture (CDFA) recently declared a state of
emergency because of a moth from Australia called
the Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM). The CDFA has
sprayed a biochemical via airplanes, which has
never been tested before, on the people of California.
This spraying is not a one time event, but will
continue monthly beginning in June and August
of 2008 for several years. Recently, botanical
experts actually exposed the LBAM Fraud. They
showed that the LBAM is a pest that won't cause
crop damage and that it is self-limiting due to
natural predators.
HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU:
The side effects can be severe, and disturbing
- the long term effects are not known. In 2007,
the Monterey Peninsula and Santa Cruz wee both
sprayed with this biochemical. After the initial
dusting there were 643 complaints of physical
harm in Santa Cruz county. Symptoms include sore
throat, allergies, itchy eyes, asthma attacks,
rashes, headaches, interruptions in menstruation
and other ailments.
