 |
|
This is the third time in Korea I've been sprayed by mosquito spray. The first was by a truck...I thought the Penguin was about to make an attack.
The second time was in a disco in Sokcho. The barman couldn't afford a dry-ice system so he sprayed the pair of us with mosquito repellent; we ended up coughing and spluttering our way off the dancefloor...it wasn't very romantic.
Just now I've sprayed my bed with a mosquito repellent I bought from the chemist. I sprayed it away from myself and but I can still taste it at the back of my mouth...it's a really strong taste. Am I going to die? |

I believe Korea uses Malathion as a mosquito spray. NYC does as well. check out the link for possible adverse reactions

I vaguely remember hearing that Malathion is known to cause mutations in tadpoles. Wonder why all the frogs are dying???????  |
