Dr. Dean Adelle mentioned that there is a law now where if any herbicide or pesticide used in or around a school all the parents need to be notified 3 days in advance. This stems from an incident where a weed killer was scheduled to be applied to a play area in the morning. That afternoon a group of children were taken there to play and warned not to eat the grass as it had been treated that morning. Each and every child got sick, some very sick. Parents were called, ambulances were called, a helicopter was brought in for the worst ones. Lawyers were called. The hospital called the grounds keeper to find out what terrible poison had been used. Turned out that the threat of rain caused the area NOT to be treated. No poison, all mental.
