I don't know exactly what is in it but can with quite some confidence tell you that if the label is issuing warnings than to be safe you need to go and get a 3M pesticide mask and gloves. After you have sprayed the stuff go and have a shower or a good wash because most chemicals are absorbed through the skin..in other words you might as well spray it under your tongue. If you take these precautions you can't go wrong. Hard to tell later what caused that nasty diagnosis that's giving you 3 months to live....Are you picking up what I'm laying down? Better safe than sorry. Be safe Deb:)

It's been one of these weeks.

Then we might need to go shopping.
Nails on the detached garage wall & cruddy old sneakers next to them on the floor. Feel free to customize this for different housing & domestic situations. But we need a locking cabinet somewhere that we can get a little dirty & kids don't go. Basement or better yet a dusty garden shed.
> First read the entire label & MSDS you now have on your gardening clipboard that hangs on a nail in the garage while changing your shoes. Both of them. >> Gloves & goggles when mixing & handling concentrates are from the locked cabinet the Banner is stored in. You don't need or use them when spraying according to the new label & msds. >>> Add half the water to the sprayer. >>>>Read the label some more. >>>>> Use a dedicated & accurate measuring device. The one you store in a zip-loc bag with skull & crossbones inside the locking cabinet. Triple rinse the measuring device into the sprayer after use. Put it back in the bag. Put the bag back in the cabinet. >>>>>>> Finish filling the sprayer. >>>>>>>> It is wise to wear an old long sleeved garden shirt that hangs in the garage. Put it on. >>>>>>>>> Read the Label again. >>>>>>>>>> Assuming the envorironmental conditions are correct, spray away especially to leaf undersides. Avoid excessive dripping unless soil-borne fusarium is already a problem. Read the "drenching" instructions of a Topsin-M label & buy some of it if the orange issues are happening. >>>>>>>>>>> Drain down the empty sprayer, rinse, store. >>>>>>>>>>>> Hang the cruddy shirt on it's nail, kick off the dirty garden shoes. >>>>>>>>>>>>> Wash hands with that bar of Ivory
