Answer to Question 1

Six different ways in which insecticides work to control insects include:
 Stomach poisons, which kill insects that eat part of the plant
 Contact poisons, which kill insects that are hit by or otherwise touch the poison
 Systemic poisons that affect the entire plant and are effective in the control of insects
with either chewing or sucking mouth parts
 Fumigants, which are actually contact poisons applied in gaseous form
 Repellents, which generally do not kill insects but drive them away before they
attack the plant
 Attractants and pheromones, which lure insects to their deaths



Answer to Question 2

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a document that gives detailed information about a pesticide
product and company identification, composition/information on the ingredients,
hazard identification, first aid measures, firefighting measures, accidental release
measures, handling and storage, exposure control/personal protection, physical and
chemical properties, stability and reactivity, toxicological information, ecological
information, disposal considerations, transport information, other pertinent safety
information

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
