Initially it was reported that the local emergency administrator was fuming with anger that Bayer had not reported the extent of a Thiodicarb leak. It was reported that firemen had spray 1 ‘barrel’ of leaking Thiodicarb, then it was revealed that at least 3 ‘barrels’ had released Thiodicarb.

Then this story was removed, and no record of it is available to my search.

Here is haz mat info on Thiodicarb....pretty nasty?

Hmmm..yuck.

See # 39- the latest update says they went to all the local plants and find no leaks at them..

Can you still smell it?

Nasty indeed:"Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:

Salivation, muscle tremors, nausea, watery eyes, Difficult Breathing, Vomiting, pin-point pupils, ...etc, on the convulsions, unconsciousness and respiratory failure

(? woulnd't 'pinpoint eye pupils" indicate brain problems?

Through the history of such 'spills' it seems that the more dangerous the substance, the quicker the cover up....the warnings on this substance say to get into the fresh air - however, there is no 'fresh air'
