    Has anyone here used melathion before? It's like a pesticide that I bought at the gardening store. I heard that this is very toxic and should be used with much caution. Can anyone tell me how to use this? Thanks a lot!

    It does not seem like there are side effects unlike any other. All chemicals can harm us after years of over exposure. It looks like this is used as an insect repellent in recreational settings. But possible someone who worked where they might inhale it at regular intervals might beware and wear a mask because it might cause cramping, headaches, and even effect the immune system. But if most of us were to read a list of side effects of medicines we take, we would find a similar list and stop taking them.
