To reduce mosquito activity and the risk of West Nile Virus, the Health Department will spray pesticide (Anvil 10+10) from trucks in parts of Greenwood Heights, Park Slope and Windsor Terrace in Brooklyn, on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 between the hours of 8:15 p.m. and 6 a.m. the following morning, weather permitting. In case of bad weather, application will be delayed until Thursday, August 4, during the same hours. The Park Slope Weather Report is saying there currently is a 50% chance of rain tonight which should postpone the spraying. Remember to turn off your air conditioners and keep your kids inside until this poison wears off, especially if you are invertebrates.

i've been experiencing extreme itching and hives-like rashes on symmetrical parts of my body, and the only thing i can conclude that's different is having walked in or near prospect park before each episode. Has anyone else had this type of reaction?
