There have been tests done in California and in Canada.  The initial
rumour was that it was effective against tracheal, but more recent word --
as I recall -- is that is is worthless as a treatment and questionable in

I believe Adony had some good comments to make in Saskatoon about Neem
and other essences that he has been looking at and I was hoping he'd jump
in here, but maybe he does not read the list these days or maybe he's
away.
 
On thing to keep in mind is that there are a number of Neem products and
it may be hard to generalize...
 
Seems we talked about this before somewhere.  I think I'll search...
