I am VERY concerned because I have been specifically told by my health care provider that I am not to have ANY contact with pesticides or insecticides due to a serious and ongoing health issue. When I realized he was there, I enquired about what he was spraying, and shared with him my concerns, to which he replied, "You 'should' be fine." I need to know if this has potentially put me in physical danger. As indicated above, I'm now dealing with a sore throat, headache, and a tingling (slight burning) sensation on my skin, despite showering immediately after the incident.
