    I know a police officer in Salisbury that has it. It almost killed him. This is bad stuff and it is here. Hope they spray or something. I mean this stuff almost killed a grown man.

    God forbid they should spray to kill mosquitoes. It might kill a bird. Well, frankly, I'm sick of the nuisance crows...I'd like to know how to get rid of them. I'd like to see officials spray for mosquitoes. We can't live or work outside in the evenings because of them!
