Read
the label. You've heard it before, and you'll hear it again.
The
label on farm pesticides will tell you how to protect yourself
from a chemical's harmful effects. The label also will tell
you what kind of protective clothing you need to wear.
It's
not possible to recommend the same clothing for all pesticide
jobs. You must judge for yourself what's appropriate based
on what you're doing and what's indicated by the precautionary
statements on the label.
Wear
the right clothes for the job.
This
message was brought to you by Safe Farm, an Iowa State University
Extension program helping you to make the farm a safe place
to work and live.
