I contacted it through dermal and inhalation contact. Another woman and I had symptoms within days and called the poison control hotline. They said I’d have to eat handfuls to get sick. They were wrong. Many birds and non-targeted wildlife were killed in this same incident. This poison is way too dangerous to be used.
