This is SO important. We've become way too complacent when using chemicals in general and especially ones such as these. Also, I haven't taken into account the best way to mitigate toxin exposure on the clothing I wear while applying these types of chemicals. Thanks SO much for the great reminders!

[@FNRClemson]

Absolutely!!

What mask do you think would be the best for being around fertilizer? I work in lawn care and they don't give us anything.
