Last year Dallas County and a few others near it, decided it would be a great idea to spray everyone in the county from overhead in an attempt to kill mosquitos that COULD possibly carry west nile virus, which MIGHT be transmitted to an individual if bitten, and if bitten it could MAYBE cause a reaction, and if it caused a reaction and you were already sick or highly susceptible it was POSSIBLE to get west nile virus, AND if that happened you had a small chance of dying. So we all got sprayed.
"The Florida die-off coincides with a recent county-wide mosquito eradication effort, during which helicopters flew over various parts of the county and sprayed airborne pesticides. Officials, of course, deny that this taxpayer-funded spraying initiative had anything to do with the bee genocide, though. "The fact that it was so widespread and so rapid, I think you can pretty much rule out disease," said Bill Kern, an entomologist from the University of Florida (UF) to Florida Today. "It happened essentially almost in one day."
