Hi All --

Hope all is well....

My overzealous brother-in-law deployed Diazinon all around the perimeter of
my house this weekend without my knowledge or consent -- long story.  As if
this weren't bad enough, some of the stuff also got into a couple of my
potted chile plants.  I scooped out all that I could, but I'm sure that I
didn't get all of it.

My feeling is that since this is an isolated incident and since only a very
small amount of the chemical remained in the containers, I am probably OK
eating chiles produced by these plants.  The plants now are only 8 or 10
inches high.  Anyone else have thoughts on this?  Thanks in advance.

Matt
