A 2001 study sponsored by the city Health Department found that the pesticide had no repercussions for people&#8217;s health when applied correctly. To read the report, go to http:\/\/www.nyc.gov\/html\/doh\/html\/wnv\/feis.shtml.<\/p>\n<p>During the application, people with asthma or other respiratory conditions are encouraged to stay indoors, since there is the possibility that spraying could worsen these conditions. It&#8217;s all right to run air conditioners, but to reduce the possibility of exposure, health officials recommend closing the machines&#8217; vents.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com\/blog\/archives\/2006\/08\/save_the_dorp.html\">Save The Dorp!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spraying has intensified around Staten Island after a man was diagnosed with West Nile Virus: After a Staten Island man was diagnosed as having the state&#8217;s first human case of West Nile virus this year, the city Health Department will spray pesticide from trucks tomorrow between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. in the following neighborhoods: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-staten_island","category-were_all_gonna_die"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1390\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
