Question from Patti
I live across the street from a Cotton Field also and, thankfully, they no longer do crop dusting, but they still spray poison and I get hives intermittently if exposed to the poison. We often get sick, as in sore throats when they spray the defoliant. Are there any ways to protect the house as far as the air goes?

Can you move?
You would have to make the house air tight and filter all incoming air, but I personally wouldn’t want to live in a house where I couldn’t open the window and get fresh air.
Can you tell us more about what’s being used on those cotton fields, how often they spray, etc?
