Precautions when using pour on?

locky76

I was using a back pack and gun to apply pour on animec on Saturday with 550kg Freisan bullocks, 60mls apiece.
What precautions do people use?
Any risk to the user with splashes etc.?

At the minimum always wear nitrile gloves when using pour on's. or even injections.

If you want to be sterile continue on with no gloves.

And to really frighten ya any children that you have not fathered yet can be genetically changed by the misuse of such products and their children too.

Sleep well tonight.:D

Used to hate wearing gloves. Think milking gloves are the best thing ever now. Wear them all the time now outside. A cousin of mine got ecoli through a cut on his hand recently. He was lucky he didn't die.

I had a bottle of Noromectin spill in the booth of a car a few years back. My whole body got covered in large hives. Back was covered in them. Took me a few days to cop on what was causing it.
Now if the fumes alone can do that, what would it do with direct contact to the skin?

The datasheet contains advice.

You do not want iverdmectins in contact with you through fumes or direct smin contact. Fumes can be as bad as skin contact as the che.ical is going directly into your lungs and bloodstream. Ivedmectins have been linked to motor neuron disease where there is skin contact
