It is 40% nicotine concentrate.

    Yes, that was indeed my point. It seems like you didn’t understand I was agreeing with you (not everyone on the internet is trying to attack you).

    It’s lethally toxic in a few dozen milligrams, and this bottle contains (up to) tens of thousands milligrams.

    I was pointing out it’s an absolute nightmare they sold this to random people in stores to “spray fruit”. The nightmare is only slightly tempered by my hope that “nicotine concentrate” might only be a small percentage pure nicotine.

      Ah I see we actually agree. That’s my bad. I’m so used to getting shouted down around here by people that didn’t read very closely, I wrongly interpreted your comment. Ironic. I’m sorry.

      If necessary, I would choose nicotine over many current commercial pesticides. Nicotine doesn’t help pests develop into superbugs with pesticide resistance.
