snipped it all

The "nerve gas" in the article is Diazinon - a bug poison commonly
commonly used
in gardening. You can get it in liquid form for use in a tank or
hose end
sprayer, or granules for use in a lawn spreader.

Apparently, someone goofed and used some indoors.

You can't get it anymore, I believe, but you
can use what you have in reserve. That sounds
like the stuff that the EPA decided to ban, and
gardeners all over the place snapped up what
was left. I should have some around myself; it's very
effective when used properly.

It's just like the stuff from 3M that protects
upholstery and carpeting: the EPA decided to ban
it, and parents everywhere made a run for the stuff
because it does such a good job of protecting your
furniture. The only people who made out like
bandits on it were the upholstery cleaning companies.

What's next - a report indicating George Bush sent pure hydric acid
to to Iraq
for the civilians to drink?

Actually, it will be ascorbic acid injected drinks.
Which, to those in the know, is Vitamin C added
to juices.
