Abstract:
Commercially used lawn and home pesticides may cause a variety of symptoms in sensitive individuals. To assist those individuals considered at risk, the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS) has developed a process of registering persons sensitive to pesticides, providing they submit certification of their sensitivity by a qualified medical specialist. Pesticide applicators are required by law to inform registered persons of pesticide application to a lawn or exterior foliage on properties contiguous with or adjacent to a registered person at least 24 hours prior to application of the pesticide.
