Agricultural workers intoxicated by insecticide
CIENFUEGOS, Cuba, September 19 (Luis Miguel
González Leyva, Jagua Press / www.cubanet.org)
- More than 20 agricultural workers employed
by a government seed bank have suffered
intoxication and burns from an insecticide.
Yorquis Curbelo, a member of the team that
sprays the insecticide, said that the workers
came in direct contact with the product,
called Final, as they did not have any protective
gear.
The workers, at the Javacoa farm, suffered
burns to their backs and forearms, as well
as eruptions in the genital area.
The seed bank belongs to the Ministry of
the Sugar Industry.
