not recommended for this group because they rapidly
 become contaminated and can even exacerbate hand ex-
 posure. This is also true of rubber or other impermeable
 gloves which are re-used.
 2. Clean clothing, including clean shoes and a wide-brimmed
 hat, provide substantial protection for the pesticide ap-
 plicator and mixer-loader. In lieu of daily clothing
 changes, disposable protective suits are also very adequate.
 3. At least 24 h should elapse before harvesters enter a
 pesticide treated area, and the area should be dry. The
 longer the time period before reentry, the safer the reentry
 will be, whether the field is wet or dry. An exception to
 this rule is a greenhouse, an exposure situation which
 needs study for all work tasks.
