The neighbours sprayed their property with another application of pesticide. With the prevailing westerly winds in our area, the product obviously drifted onto our property. We alerted the neighbours -it made no difference. Our appeal was rejected rudely. The pesticide dealers were also contacted and our concerns made known. They stated they will continue the applications as long as they are still being paid. And furthermore stated that as we are not their customers they will not receive our complaints of injuries. I requested that at least they give incident report of them and notify any appropriate authorities. They refused.

That night after their 2nd application I suffered insomnia & acute severe pain throughout that night -so crippling my husband had to help me move inch by inch to make it to the washroom. I howled at the least movement of my body. A body still not recovered from the persistence of pesticides spray of the last 3 years. After those pesticides -to which I am extremely allergic - I wake up weakened & limp with a headache & insufferable night pains & running to the toilet.... Diarrhea is so bad since the application that I can write about the consequences to my body. Ability to concentrate has grievously suffered -it has jammed my thinking. I am allergic to pesticide whether they be in food or environment -both have delibitating consequences. Home air & outdoor air quality here is so polluted it is a daily must for me personally to escape to fresh air in children's parks just to survive. My husband & I often have had to escape our home just to breathe! We are an older healthy couple married many decades. For after they spray I can barely think or feed my husband -let alone clean our home. The barely living is what I've become in a pesticide polluted atmosphere. I can go outside only for a few minutes and that only with the use of a respirator.
