Define "normal usage". Define "fairly low".
One of the nastiest nights in my life was spent after eating
*two* unwashed mint leaves picked from my garden the day
they sprayed for mosquitoes. "Low toxicity", my ass...
The primary advantage of Malathion is that it breaks down
relatively quickly after application, not that it's non-toxic.
