A member asked:
Is vikane gas fumigant (for termites) dangerous for elderly with heart failure and emphysema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
While in Use: Of course it's dangerous while it's actively being deployed. It's a mild respiratory irritant and the gas itself is, in high concentration, fatal. Moral of the story: we do not stay in houses with fumigation tents over them.
