[RD414]

Need help finding information on long term health issues from over exposure to lorsban.

Google something like, Chlorpyrifos long term health studies.

Over exposure? Really? I think you mean
exposure. What is does to bugs is
EXACTLY what it does to you.

If you think you have had high exposure
to Lorsban you will have autoimmune
antibodies that people with autoimmune
disorders also have. Unfortunately
chronic illness associated with
autoimmune disorders after exposure to
chlorpyrifos are unfortunately
associated.

So, its a simple test then, relatively.
I'm not an MD, disclaimer, but go see
one soon if you suspect you have been
exposed.

here is a bit more to the story. Spray plane had a broken line while spraying lorsban back in July. Idiot flew over 2 yards on his way to get it fixed. Soaked 1 guy down real bad and drifted the other yard real good. Watched the plane go over and went in and phoned local dealer. He said no problems reported, but could not explain liquid pouring out of plane. Found out rest of story a week later. Called spray plane owner, didnot call me back

Why was he flying over your yard? Where did
this happen?

[RD414]

north of Rosetown, 2 planes in the field, it's a 500 acre field. First guy noticed liquid coming out of second plane. Told him to get back to the airport. He turned towards town and crossed over 2 yards. Had lots of room to give at least half mile buffer.

[sumdumguy]

How high was he flying? Usually at the height
that we fly, liquid is just gone if you are any
height.

I would have phoned the RCMP an my lawyer...Sounds like total stupidity on the pilots part...

[RD414]

main hose came off is what I was told later. He landed and was ready to go 15 minutes later. As I said earlier you could see liquid streaming out. It was coming from one spot only.

Yup;if only he had been higher the Lorsban would have just disappeared.Geesh

[Hopperbin]

did the guys in the yards see it coming out? Good time to get in the house and close all windows.

[ColevilleH2S]

If they didn't see it, they certainly would have smelled it. Man that stuff stinks.

If you had lorsban spilled on you and you went and had a good shower immediatly and you never had repeated exposures you will be fine. When your exposed to the stuff for longer periods of time it can have effects. I have worked with this stuff for a few years so unless you injest it you should be ok.
