DOESN'T COST IT PAYS!!!

Pesticide handling important
Some pesticides, if not handled
carefully, can cause serious health
problems. Protective clothing is a
must - absorption through the skin
accounts for almost 90 per cent of
total exposure! However, protective
measures don't stop there.
Contaminated clothing needs to be
properly handled and cleaned to
safeguard other family members as
well as the owner of the clothes.
• Wash clothes, including hats,
the same day they are contamin
ated.
• Presoak clothing before
washing by hosing them off out
doors, soaking them in a separate
tub or pail or using the pre-wash
cycle in an automatic washer.
• Wash only one "pesticide-type"
of contaminated clothing at a time.
• Use hot water, the highest level
and the longest cycle with a heavy
duty liquid detergent.
• Rinse the clothes twice.
• Hang the clothes outside to dry,
preferably in bright sunlight.
• Store and wash the clothing
separate from other family laundry.
• Clean washing machine before
washing uncontaminated clothes
for the rest of the family. Run the
machine through a complete cycle
without clothing using detergent
and hot water.
Some other healthy practices to
follow when you are handling
pesticides are:
• Wash hands frequently and
always before eating, drinking or
smoking.
• Always wear protective
clothing over usual work clothes.
• Remove the protective clothing
before entering enclosed spaces
like a tractor cab.
• When finished for the day, bath
or shower as soon as possible with
lots of soap and hot water.
Thoroughly wash hair and clean
under fingernail-s. The longer a
pesticide stays on skin, the greater
the risk that it will be absorbed into
the skin.
• Wear clean work clothes every
day. A small spill on yesterday's
clothes may seem unimportant, but
wearing the same clothing for
several days without washing them
prolongs exposure and increases
the risk of experiencing health
problems.
