You
wouldn't toss an empty pesticide container into your truck
or tractor cab. So don't even consider doing the same thing
with a pair of used protective gloves.
When
you're done handling or mixing pesticides, put your gloves
in a covered container or bag until they can be washed or
thrown away. The gloves may not even look dirty, but traces
of pesticide remain and can rub off on other clothes.
Be safe
this season.
