Hello steem world warm greetings.

Today I will love to share with you how we get in contact with pesticides and ways to solve those problems. We all know pesticides are intended to control and manage pest and the pest nervous system is like that of a human being. Getting in contact with pesticide is not good and the exposure have some health effects. So it will be better we look at how farmers get in contact with pesticides and possible solutions they need to avoid getting exposure and in contact with pesticides.

Pesticides exposure means getting pesticides in on your body and the toxic effect depends on how much pesticide is involved and how long it may remain there.

Exposure due to no personal protective equipment.

Pesticides contact the body surface in four main ways which we have the oral, inhalation, oscular and dermal. Inhalation is a greater hazard when you are working in a poor ventilated enclose space and using other highly toxic pesticides. The amount of pesticides absorb through your skin and into your body depends on the pesticide and the material use to dilute it. Oil base liquid pesticides and oil base dilutions are absorbed most readily than water base pesticides.

To avoid and reduce pesticide harmful effect, one have to use appropriate personal protective equipment, washing of expose areas often and keeping keeping clean your protective equipments. In must pesticides handling situations, the skin is the part of the body that is most likely to receive exposure.
As a farmer I saw this very important to share it so as to help protect the health of most farmers and encourage them to always use personal protective equipment when using pesticides. Thanks for reading.
