Policies should be based on facts
Fact: some pesticides are "restricted use" and require protective gear.
I grant that I do not know which pesticides are at issue in this case, but it's a fairly simple exercise to discover which ones were used, and when, and how applied.

Big Island accounts for 20% of all restricted use pesticides in the State.

WHAT DO I DO IF I SMELL A STRONG PESTICIDE ODOR?
In urgent situations involving ill-effects and/or evacuation from the area, call 911 immediately and report incident to the Fire and Police Departments. Then contact the Pesticide Branch office in your district to file a complaint.
I'm sure the above policy is merely an "opinion" based on "irrational fears".
