Airborne. Next door neighbour at (address) in (city) Saskatchewan hired Weed Man 2 do his front and back lawn just next to us. The chemicals are airborne and is obviously drifting towards us even though they try to deny it or say it isn't. You could smell it in the air and evident by the fact I am STILL sick with symptoms manifestations from it even days after, the physical manifestations during and after days they were spraying. Days they sprayed were approximately July 24-28. Today is July 29 and I am still getting mroe symptoms. Someone needs to be accountable. Why is it ok to impose a bio-hazard to someone's health who is already compromised without any regard for its implications

Itchy skin, itchy mucous membranes, tongue, inside ears, itchy hives on skin, burning throat, end of my tongue is red and inflamed and sore, watery itchy burning eyes, headache, and nausea, muscle twitches all day on Saturday to Sunday July 27 and July 28.I don't know what they were exactly by name brand, but apparently they felt it was ok to risk my health and impose a health hazard (if not on others as well in the neighborhood) even WITHOUT WARNING that they were even coming to do what they lawfully felt was 'RIGHT', without any care or concern for us with what they were doing and even after I told them if they do this they area just going to make me very ill, but in return showed no regard or care for my concern and just told me to just leave our own property while they contaminate the area as it will just somehow disappear from the air/environment miraculously! Please make them stop poisoning us while they or whoever party to these chemical companies just play oblivious to it. They exposed me to harmful chemicals I am still suffering from that just keep compounding everytime they or whoever party to thesechemical companies feel it is somehow ok to keep selling this crap that poisons others let alone feel it was somehow ok to poison us. I am sorry I am not a guinea pig for someone else's laboratory experiment they feel they need to profit on. The government needs to stop being complacent regarding this matter. I even tried to call the owner who said he would call me back in 20 minutes, after he was done something he was doing but failed to do so.
