Although your chances of experiencing any health effects from spraying are quite low, the following common sense steps will help you reduce possible exposure to pesticides before during or after spraying.
NYS DOH Recommends These Steps
•Children and pregnant women should take care to avoid exposure when practical.
•If possible, remain inside or avoid the area whenever spraying takes place and for about 30 minutes after spraying.
•Close windows and doors and turn off window air-conditioning units or close their vents to circulate indoor air before spraying begins. Windows and air-conditioning vents can be reopened about 30 minutes after spraying.
•If you come in direct contact with pesticide spray, protect your eyes. If you get pesticide spray in your eyes, immediately rinse them with water. Wash exposed skin. Wash clothes that come in direct contact with spray separately from other laundry.
•Consult your health care provider if you think you are experiencing health effects from spraying.
•If spraying just occurred, minimize your contact with outdoor surfaces and wash skin that has come in contact with these surfaces.
•Pick homegrown fruits and vegetables you expect to eat soon before spraying takes place. Rinse homegrown fruits and vegetables (in fact all produce) thoroughly with water before cooking or eating.
•Cover outdoor tables and play equipment before spraying or wash them off with detergent and water after they have been sprayed.
•Bring laundry and small toys inside before spraying begins (wash with detergent and water if exposed to pesticides during spraying).
•Bring pet food and water dishes inside, and cover ornamental fishponds to avoid direct exposure.
