Scenario #2
w A mother tells you that she arrived home last Wednesday to
discover that the lawn care company had sprayed.  There
was a strong odor, and liquid could be seen on the grass
and furniture.  After playing outdoors that afternoon, her
child developed nausea and vomiting, with some sweating
but no fever.  She also had mild tremors.  Her pediatrician
diagnosed her child with “flu” (GI virus). However, she is
asking you if you think the pesticides may have had
something to do with her child’s illness.
