Nukem is all natural and has no chemicals in it, it's mostly just peppermint oil and neem oil. DE is non harmful when used properly, dusting it is not proper application, i use DE every year, just like i use essential oils both can be used improperly. NEVER dust a plant with DE while flowering unless you plan on smoking nasty DE powder which is harmful to even breathe in let alone smoke that stuff.Did you really just say hey that stuff is harmful, you should spray with this chemical "safely" up until day of harvest?
Cheers
Here's a quote about the dangerous of DE
Inhalation
Inhalation of diatomaceous earth may cause temporary respiratory irritation such as sneezing, coughing, difficulty breathing, eye, nose and throat irritation or bloody nose. People with existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma patients or smokers, and children may be more sensitive to the effects of diatomaceous earth. Symptoms should improve after the exposure is removed. Crystalline silica forms when diatomaceous earth is heated to very high temperatures, and this form of silica may cause lung disease. However, exposure is considered an occupational hazard only. This means that workers exposed to crystalline silica on a daily basis for many years may be at risk, but casual contact is not likely to be hazardous.
