  Annie:

  You do have to consider that the flies do serve a
purpose in nature. First of all they assist in the
breakdown of dead materials ranging from feces to
bodies. Then, via the larvae they supply parasites
to the mammals to eliminate the weak. Then for the
humans, especially the couch potatoes, they provide
exercise, as in swatting them, and for the intellect
they provide a topic for conversation. 

  All in all, not such a minor spot in society for
the little buggers.

  Bob.

    Hi Sug, I was surfing on Google,  I found
literally hundreds of sites for DE, I searched 
'diatomaceous earth"  Wow there is allot there. Way
more than I expected to find.  and also I searched 
'diatomaceous earth equine' lots there to,  Most of
which I do not understand but you will. Allot of
technical lingo.  I also saw that allot of the
industrial grade stuff has other chemicals added.
(ugg)   This discussion is very interesting to me,
and others I'm sure. I have no doubt that it can
make somebody sometime sick. But if we can
adequately evaluate the % or risk factor, then we
can decide if it is worth it.   I mean compared to
chemical fly control. Still.......  Flies may not be
so bad after all!
