Pesticide warnings
are real
NEWARK, Del. - Every
user of pesticides must read,
understand and fqllow all
directions and precautions
given on pesticide labels,
says Delaware extension
agricultural chemicals
specialist John McDaniel.
Each of these products is
intended-to have some sort of
harmful effect on living
creatures. Mankind is part
of life, so good sense warns
that pesticides may harm
people, too. This is true even
with commonly used
pesticides, the kinds almost
every grower uses each
year.
Lasso is the tradename for
a very popular and effective
weed killer. The label warns
users that it may cause eye
bums and skin irritation.
Further, it states that Lasso
may cause allergic skin
reaction. The directions tell
users to wear goggles or face
shield and rubber gloves
when handling Lasso. The
label also warns that Lasso
is combustible - it will bum -
- so it should not be stored or
used near heat or flame.
The label on the packages
-of Sevin Sprayable instructs
users to wear long-sleeved
shirts and to change clothes
daily when using the

product. The manufacturer,
Union Carbide Corporation,
puts this statement on the
label for the user’s
protection.
Premerge, Dow
Chemical’s popular dinoseb
formulation, is a highly toxic
herbicide which has been
widely used for many years.
Its label tells the user to
wear goggles and other
safety equipment when
pouring the concentrated
product and at other times
when contact is likely.
Additional safety in
structions are also spelled
out.
These are simply three
examples of widely used
pesticides which can pass
through the user’s skin and
make him ill, says Mc-
Daniel. Observation over the
years indicates that many
users of these pesticides do
not heed all of these cautions
each time they use the
products. Quite likely some
people become slightly ill
from exposure to these and
other pesticides. The illness
may be no more severe than
a headache, slight dizziness,
or general tiredness. But
strict attention to label
directions will help prevent
these health problems.
