Insecticide (and pharmaceutical) companies spend millions of dollars
establishing health information such as the "No Effect Level" of
chemical exposure. Then they establish application and esposure rates
far below this level in order to build in a huge safety factor that
takes into account how different people may respond differently to
exposure.

In the case of Vapona, the application rate specified on the label is
100 times below the established No Effect Level (in regard to
cholinesterase inhibition). In plain english, cholinesterase inhibition
will not occur unless people are exposed to large, continual, illegal 
overdoses of the chemical.
