Must be some chemicals getting sprayed all over the place. It stinks and it burns

(62,482 posts)I remember that when I was a kid and these big trucks would go by spraying a thick cover of something. We would all just breath it in and go on playing.
I have been in AC most of the day and it inside stores and offices and my house.
I am thinking insecticide from crop dusting. I have seen some planes and helicopters flying over fields last week. Good lord I haven't seen hardly a bug this summer. I think the chemicals have killed them all.

DDT developes strong muscles in kids.
Probably smoke from Canadian wildfires.

(62,482 posts)My first guess was insecticide. The planes were out spraying last week. It is just for the past two day it has been choking. Today I moved around Eastern Iowa and it is just everywhere. In offices and stores.
I have had a smokers hack since the fire smoke first hit us in May. This is really choking today.
