House fumigated next door may have led to loss of baby

An empty house next to ours was tented for one day last week. I suffered a miscarriage during the night. Our vent runs alongside the house and we did not switch the AC on but had the fan running, bringing in outside air. My husband noticed milder symptoms, neighbors reported increase in allergies and one reported nausea and vomiting... but I ended up in the emergency room with a dead baby.

Please, don't think tenting is always a safely conducted practice. Please let neighbors know if you plan to tent your house, so at least THEY can take protective measures.

Send any reports of suspected pesticide exposure to:
