Absolutely! This doesn't pass the BE (bull excrement) sniff test. Who in his or her right mind would be so careless and reckless with a liquid that they don't drink, yet drench themselves in!? Seriously? Drench themselves in chemicals?
I work with this stuff on my property and I'm so careful with it, that I will not spray on a windy day. I don't want the chemicals to get on me or on anything else that I don't want sprayed.
Here is the very first precautionary statement on the container I have:
People and pets must not touch treated plants or enter into treated areas until the spray has dried.
And of course there are warnings about getting these chemicals into your eyes. If the chemicals aren't good for the eyes, then wouldn't common sense dictate that they're probably not too great for the skin either?
