If you are overcome by the gas, this lifeline is your only means of rescue without endangering other people. A self-contained breathing apparatus is recommended, but its high cost may make it impractical to have this equipment readily available on most farms. Outdoor lagoons and ponds should be fenced. Good housekeeping is essential, not only for your personal safety, but also for the health and well being of your stock. Keep children away from animals, particularly in livestock handling areas.
