The following statement was made in an article by James Bach, former Washington State Apiarist, in the summer issue of WAS Journal. (pg.12) “Several persons in Canada have severely damaged their lungs from breathing the acid during applications made to bee colonies. And some have burned themselves because of not using the correct gloves or spilling the acid on their clothes.” Does anyone have any knowledge or records of the above mentioned injuries? Does any one monitor the safety records? Please let me know. I personally know about one case of lung damage in Florida by none in Canada.
