Remember when the 'Spray Man' used to unleash chemical warfare on the skeeters? We used to run behind the truck into the fog he was spraying! It always had a 'sweet' smell to it. Was that the kerosene used to disperse the DDT?
Ah, memories!
Yeah, same here, except I lived in Tampa when I was a kid. We'd chase the truck with our bicycles. It's a wonder we weren't run over in the fog. The smell was from some kind of mineral oil...kerosene sounds smells about right
