Malathion is so safe it is still approved (with a doctors precription) 
for application directly to the heads of children for insect control 
(head lice) according the the Centers for Disease Control
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasites/headlice/factsht_head_lice_treating.htm

Malathion is so safe it was sprayed directly on a good portion of the 
USA's wheat crop AFTER harvest in the 70's and 80's by thousands
of farmers and grain elevators.

This wheat would then go to General Mills and Bakeries
and be made into your favorite breakfast cereal and toast. So everyone
on this list (older than 20) has grown up on a diet that included Malathion 
residues.

By contrast, NABA'S website describes malathion in the following
frightening way:

"malathion is in the same class of chemicals as the nerve gases such 
as sarin, and workers who produce malathion or blend it into final products 
as well as those who apply it, if not well-protected, can suffer agitation, 
sleepy difficulty and weakness, as well as anxiety, forgetfulness and
depression."
