    A younger brother worked at a different, more distant mall. He used to catch a bus from his mall to mine, and we'd walk home together. Later on, I saw people wearing t-shirts with the name of one of the affected communities and "medfly" with a drawing of a fly.

    At the time, some were worried about the effects of the pesticide on humans, pets, and on vehicle paint. But 40+ years later, I am unaware of any effects that could be blamed on malathion.

    Finding #Medfly was a pretty serious thing for a farming state. The risk was that #California produce would not be allowed to be shipped overseas, but also would be banned from US destinations.

    Now, it just happens that the areas underneath spray patterns were usually lower-income and ethnic minority communities.

    Additionally, there was an outbreak in 1989-1990 caused by ecoterrorists: https://nu.federati.net/url/291141 [www sfgate com]

    1. Mondegreen
      A mondegreen () is a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase in a way that gives it a new meaning. Mondegreens are most often created by a person listening to a poem or a song; the listener, being unable to hear a lyric clearly, substitutes words that sound similar and make some kind of sense. The American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in 1954, recalling a childhood memory of her mother reading the Scottish ballad "The Bonny Earl of Murray" (from Thomas Percy's 1765 book Reliques of Ancient English Poetry), and mishearing the words "layd him on the green" as "Lady Mondegreen"."Mondegreen" was included in the 2000 edition of the Random House Webster's College Dictionary, and in the Oxford English Dictionary in 2002. Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary added the word in 2008. Etymology In a 1954 essay in Harper's Magazine, Sylvia Wright described how, as a young girl, she misheard the last line of the first stanza from the seventeenth-century ballad "The Bonnie Earl O' Moray". She wrote: When...
