Re-entry interval: the time before you can go back into the field  
without protective gear.

Sherwin's saying that the label says it isn't safe to go into the  
field unprotected for a week after the pesticide's used, but it's safe  
to eat the apples within 4 days,

I am also confused; that doesn't make any sense.
