No pesticide is safe for skin contact, or for use near eyes, nose or mouth. Then there's the matter of inhaling the pesticide fumes and residues. These these things are expected to happen with even short term use, let alone prolonged use.

Even if Tennessee Was handing them out as freebies, was the cost a factor that played into the purchasing decision? Did someone get a little sumthin on the side to persuade them to buy these masks vs the non-pesticide versions that were not contaminated?
