A member asked:
I work in a "farm" industry. is it safe to work with fertilizers (ammonium sulfate, zn, mn, etc) or with herbicides and pesticides while pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes with caution: It is very important to wear protective clothing. Should not let anything absorb through your skin especially on hands. And if you are spraying anything make sure you wear protective devices for your face and avoid spraying in tight indoor spaces where you might breath in chemicals.
