Also I would move- maybe the only solution in the end.

I would hire a lawyer and take the neighbors to court. Meanwhile I would keep documenting the issue and taking my son to the doctor for regular check-ups. I would make sure that all medical records show before or after symptoms. I would make sure that if they keep using the chemical that it does not go on my property- there should be a law that protects people from their neighbors stupidity. People actually don't care about consequences esp. when they are not evidenced enough!

So what about the neighbor who was spraying? Did they apologize? Stop using the spray? Did they becom sick as well? It would be interesting to this video update & see how this boy is doing now.

I would be more concerned how fast he seems to be racing down the street on his bike between narrow heavily parked cars on both sides. He gets a rash on his back? He was naked when the evil neighbor sprayed him down?....I wonder... what is going on here?

"He saw the neighbor spraying". First of all a trained PCO would not do that.If they did,guess what you now own a pest control company.IPM was set up in the mid 90s to prevent over application.I used to be a PCT for 12 years and have seen customers with 25lbs of whatever putting it down at 6-7 times the posted rate. Complain to Home Depot and Lowes be fore you start to complain about pesticides.
