Bed Bug Spray May Have Cause Tourist Death

A New Zealand television station reported today that a New Zealander by the name of Sarah Carter may have died due to pesticide exposure while traveling in Thailand earlier this year.

 

Here is the link to the full story.

 

The pesticide in question is Pyrophus. There were several other sudden tourists deaths around the same time and investigations are still ongoing.

 

Similar horror stories are happening here in the U. S. as residents take matters into their own hands, purchasing pesticides meant for outdoor use, such as Propoxur, and using them indoors in unsafe doses. There are also reports of parents who spray their children down with Raid before putting them to bed.

 

If for no other reason then the unsafe use of pesticides, bed bugs have become a serious health risk on a global scale.
