Health Precautions > Protecting yourself

Given the heat today, Bill is as concerned about heat illness as he is about pesticide exposure. Should he continue working, but take of the gloves and change into shorts and a tee-shirt?

     
  Correct!

Bill should be concerned and take steps to prevent both heat illness and pesticide exposure. In fact, he should be particularly concerned about pesticide exposure, because skin that is hot and sweaty can absorb pesticides faster.
