You
can protect your body from residues or spraying by clothes
that cover you completely, including:
A long-sleeved shirt
Long pants
A hat with a brim
Gloves
A hat or handkerchief that covers your neck
Shoes
and socks
Wearing
clothing that covers your whole body will reduce the possibility
of being contaminated by pesticide residues, as well as
of developing sun poisoning or green tobacco sickness, including
all their short and long term effects.
Cotton
clothes let the outside air circulate to your skin while
shielding the skin from the direct sunlight and reducing
dehydration.
