Hi All --
Hope all is well....
My overzealous brother-in-law deployed Diazinon all around the perimeter of
my house this weekend without my knowledge or consent -- long story. As if
this weren't bad enough, some of the stuff also got into a couple of my
potted chile plants. I scooped out all that I could, but I'm sure that I
didn't get all of it.
My feeling is that since this is an isolated incident and since only a very
small amount of the chemical remained in the containers, I am probably OK
eating chiles produced by these plants. The plants now are only 8 or 10
inches high. Anyone else have thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.
Matt
