Description
It is safest and in the best interest of the pregnant mother to avoid pesticides whenever possible. Studies have shown that pregnant women exposed to household gardening pesticides have a modest risk of increase for oral clefts, neural tube defects, limb defects and heart defects in their unborn children.
Call your poison center at (800) 222-1222 immediately if a pesticide comes in contact with your skin, is inhaled, or is swallowed. Try to have the pesticide container with you when you call.
