Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is an Army truck that drives around the area alerting people to daily messages.

Yesterday the whistle sound (something like the legend of zelda according to Joel Johnson) played and alerted people to a message about a chemical air drop over the city. The Army stated that this would include low flying aircraft spraying chemicals to stop mosquito breeding. The times were about an hour before dusk and an hour before dawn. Do not be alarmed.

I can attest that the bugs here are terrible. I've been bitten on my left arm over 20 times. It's a problem, no doubt about it. I wonder if the chemical will cause problems later on or if it's totally safe?

When I asked Army officials what the spray was, they did not know. Does anyone know if this is DDT? What is this chemical being sprayed across an American city?
