Anyone think Pyrethrins is toxic?

So I had a caterpillar problem and used something with about .02 pyrethrins and later found out some consider it a toxic "chemical". I only used it one time but saturated my plants pretty good. They will all have had two weeks for it to "wash out" before I harvest. Anyone think I need to be cautious? I thought about water curing as a way to wash it out and purify the MJ.

Pyrethrins


On another note, there's a sativa I have that might take another couple weeks and I thought about using Safer Brand 3 in 1 (sulfur based) as a broad spectrum preventative to make sure the caterpillars, mold, and mites stay away til the end. ???

you would be fine in three days with normal misting of your plants Pyrethrins are topical applicaitons. they aren't in the plant just on it. VV

Pyrethrins break down and dissipate when exposed to air and HID lighting within a few hours, to have them remain effective longer try applying prior to lights turning off. Not toxic to animals and humans when eaten, but becomes toxic to people when inhaled. Use proper protective gear when applying.
