Contents - Previous - Next

Edem: What is important is to avoid contact between the skin and the insecticides When you are using chemicals for storage protection you have to wear long trousers a long-sleeved shin closed shoes- best of all boots-plastic or rubber gloves and something to cover your head

Yao: I didn't have my gloves but I did put plastic bags over my hands

Safety measures

Edem: That's right, you can do that too in addition to this you must not eat drink or smoke whilst you are working with the insecticides And then afterwards you should wash yourself thoroughly and change your clothes if anything does happen despite this or if you do not feel well go immediately to the next health centre and do not forget to take along the insecticide package so the doctor knows the possible cause of the poisoning

Do not come into contest with insecticides!
