This event perfectly exemplifies the dangers of pesticide use and how severe their consequences can be. Claims being made that it caused the death of a farmer are extremely serious. However, this man must have known the dangers of these chemicals as he exposed himself to them at his place of work. It was a risk he was evidently willing to take. If he did not know that he was putting is life at risk, then steps should be taken to further educate farmers and the general public of the dangers of pesticides. This man's death, among many other factors, gives rise to questions about how to deal with this growing problem. It is vital that in the near future alternate methods to pesticide use are developed in order to prevent such occurrences.
