Resource Conservation Manitoba has received reports from individuals who were sprayed with malathion in recent weeks by City of Winnipeg fogging trucks. Some have reported illness as a result.

The City of Winnipeg's mosquito fogging program is regulated by a permit from the Province of Manitoba. The permit requires that trucks suspend fogging when there are people present on the roads, sidewalks or in parks. If you were inadvertently exposed to malathion, it is important that you report the incident to Manitoba Conservation.

Further infomation on  pesticide incident reporting is available through Health Canada.
