This combination effect was the subject of a lengthy article
some time ago in one of the many agricultural magazines I
receive, but I didn't save it. Wish now I had. Maybe someone
else out there noted it? If my shaky memory is correct, the
main concern was with products that affect insects nervous
systems - by themselves they are not harmful to mammals, but in
certain combinations they become dangerous. Any help, folks?
