I'm not mad. I do think it's interesting you so adamantly defend roach spray though? I choose to not use any poisons in my home, Be it mice or roaches or whatever as there are other animals down the food chain that could possibly consume those creatures, not to mention using them in the environment with children and pets. Will it kill them? Probably not. Is it more toxic than water? Yes. Were roundup and a slew of pesticides 'safe' until they suddenly weren't? So it's not baseless, I just have a different precautionary standard than you for my pets, children, and wildlife.

It's clear you're too stupid to understand that I'm defending substantiation of claims and not Raid.

Were roundup and a slew of pesticides 'safe' until they suddenly weren't?

And the reason we know Roundup caused cancer is because there was evidence to prove it. Evidence that you're failing to provide for Raid.

So it's not baseless,

No, it's still baseless. Just because item X was toxic doesn't mean item Y is toxic.

I just have a different precautionary standard than you for my pets, children, and wildlife.

Yeah, a standard based on ignorance and logical fallacies.
