Find it yourself with a simple search, LOL! Malathion, like any other chemical, should be used with caution and that's not what your post sounded like to me!
EDIT: Ah, I see you went back and edited your post to read "when used as directed" while I was typing this one out! Smart boy after all, LOL!

I don't like using chemicals to kill things, but when I can't even go outside it's getting out of hand! I researched the use of malathion before I decided to use it, and found little evidence that the stuff does damage unless you are exposed to extremely high levels, and we're talking like drinking the stuff . . . I mix as directed, spray in the early morning in very little wind, and keep everyone inside until it dries out. Where long pants/shirt. After a spray, around the house is nearly mosquito free until it rains again . . .
From the EPA:
"EPA states that, ?Human exposures to malathion
are generally quite low.? Because potential human exposure
is several orders of magnitude lower than dose
levels in animal studies and the studies show no firm
evidence of cancer caused by malathion, EPA concluded
that when malathion is used according to label
directions cancer risk is not a concern."
