Description:
On Tuesday July 17, at approximately 6am a crop-duster sprayed the field directly across the street from me. Shortly after that my eye started bothering me, as though something were in it. I went to work, and by mid-day I had a migraine headache. I got home from work around 7pm. By 9:30pm my throat was very sore and my sinus passages were swollen. I felt hot and feverish all night even though the a/c was set at 75 degrees (that's cool for us.) I am rarely sick so this was unusual for me. I still felt very bad in the morning but after I went to work, started feeling better. By noon of the 18th I was back to my usual good health. I am convinced it was our proximity to the pesticide spraying.
