You should wear unlined, lightweight rubber boots when you are working with pesticides. Be sure to daily wash the inside and outside of the boots. Your eyes should be protected from toxic sprays, granules and dusts from pesticides. Wearing either a face shield or tight fitting goggles helps protect your eyes when pouring or mixing pesticides. In most cases, clothing is an adequate skin protection.
Fabrics differ in their protection barrier although cotton tends to be more protective.
Wearing additional layers of clothing adds protection. Underwear gives added protection in the groin area where pesticides have the quickest dermal uptake. Clothing should be washed daily since residues from minor chemical exposure or from spray or dust drift accumulate and eventually contaminate. Take extra steps to thoroughly wash and rinse the clothing. Additionally, you should be sure to run the machine though one complete cycle with detergent without the clothes to remove all chemical residues.
