Exposure to sheep dip and the incidence of acute symptoms in a group of Welsh sheep farmers / Huw Rees
Sumario: The objective of this study is to measure of a group of farmers to organophosphate pesticide in sheep dip, and to record the incidence of symptoms after exposure. Sheep dipping is strenuous and dirty work and sheep farmers find it difficult to wear personal protective equipment and avoid skin contamination with dip. In this limited study, farmers did not seem to have significant organophosphate toxicity, despite using inadequate handling precautions
