Chances are that potentially
dangerous untested
chemi–
cals are in
constant use
in
your home, and what you
don't know may
be
hurting
you. Here's
some
ol the
latest research available
on
these household chemicals.

"EEEEEEEEEK!
Honey - look at
the ants
!
There must be mil·
lions of them
!"
screams the
housewife.
But hubby quickly reaches under the
kitchen sink, and with a few shots of
insecticide from a grotesquely colored,
gaily illustrated aerosol can, showing
the contorted bodies of various insects,
quickJy reduces the military-like lines of
precision marching ants into a quivering
mass of convulsing bodies.
A few brisk wipes with a kitchen
sponge, and the cabinet is as good as
new - all traces of the pesky iosects
removed.
But the tiny, vaporized crystals form–
ing on the cabinets, the floor, the wall,
and under the concealed ledges have
NOT
been removed. They quickJy dry.
Growing heat and humidity will cause
them to be released, and allow them to
float freely
in
the air of your kitchen -
the same kitchen, and on the same tile,
where Mrs. Housewife trims steak,
chops ooions, prepares salads, kneads
dough, pours milk, or mixes batter.
And above it
all,
dangling like a
good-luck charm or religious amulet,
hangs a deadly "no-pest strip" whose
lethal DDVP "antiaircraft'' gas handily
eradicates
al1
flying insects.
What does it do to human beings
and the food they eat -
if
anything?
