A 1992 study of a five-county area in Kentucky found that 47 to bacco workers sought emergency medical attention because of GTS. The illness is caused by the ab sorption of nicotine from the sur face of wet tobacco through the skin. Workers whose clothing be comes saturated from wet tobacco because of tain or dew are at a high risk for the development of the illness, according to the study. Jackie Scott, a tobacco fanner from Kentucky who was hospital ized by the sickness, said that “no thing has ever made me sicker than working in wet tobacco. It can make you feel like you’re go ing to die.” HOSS’S FOREFFA Centrally located between Reading and (Reading/Lancaster). First take 272,3/4th Lancaster at Bowmansville.
