Safety Topic: Poisonous Plants & Insects |
|
Pay attention to your surroundings especially if you work in a heavily vegetated/forest area, as there are several plants and insects that could cause you harm. |
|
Check yourself frequently for bites or insects such as ticks embedded in your skin, and let your manager know if you discover one. If you develop a bullseye at the site where the tick has bitten you, immediately seek medical help, as this is a common sign of Lyme disease. |
|
|
If you have an allergy to an insect such as a bee, make sure that your crew members know, as well as the location of your epi pen. Beware of snakes and any wildlife acting unusual. |
|
|
|
Poison Ivy/Oak has 3 leaflets on each leaf, and a red color where the three leaves connect. Poison Ivy/Oak can cause a rash even through indirect contact, such as touching clothes, pets or objects/tools that have come in contact with the plant. |
|
|
|
Wild Parsnip has a hollow stem, with vertical grooves running its full length. The stem and its multi-toothed leaves are a yellowish-green color. It has flat-topped flower clusters with yellow petals. There is a chemical in Wild Parsnip that can destroy cells and skin tissue.
|
|
|
|
Cow Parsley leaves are alternate, very finely divided, fern-like, and slightly hairy. The flowers are small and white with 5 petals, and they grow in an umbrella shape that can be about 3 inches wide. Its sap can cause a chemical burn on the skin when it is exposed to sunlight.
|
|
Thank you for taking the time to be aware of your surroundings. |
|
Can you answer the question from this week's safety discussion? |
|
|
If the bullseye does not appear within 7 days of being bitten by a tick, you are safe from Lyme
