Cautionary tale about pesticides.

Recommended Posts

Tragic that 4 people died in Texas after being exposed to the fumes when someone put water on aluminum phosphide.

 

This is the same pesticide suspected in some high profile tourist deaths in Thailand.  First responders were also caught up and had to be treated.  Horrible stuff, and apparently in pretty common use in Thailand.

More info, with a mention of a Thailand case:
