Bug Bombs
The Centers for Disease Control has issued a report on the use of bug bombs.  During 2001-2006, 466 cases of illness and injury due to from total-release foggers (TRFs) or "bug bombs" were reported in eight states. TRFs are a health risk to users and bystanders.  Cough, shortness of breath, and upper airway irritation are the most common health problems. These preventable TRF illnesses and injuries were often due to the user's inability get out of the area before the TRF was used, entering the treated space too soon, using too many TRFs, accidental discharge of a TRF, and not notifying others about the use of TRFs.
