Warning
You should not use Sevin or any other chemical pesticide on your vegetables unless you feel there is a clear need. Store Sevin in its original container and out of the way of children and pets. When you use it, wear waterproof gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes with socks and chemical-resistant headwear. Overexposure can cause a range of symptoms, including blurred vision, breathing difficulty, abdominal cramps, muscle tremors, diarrhea and vomiting. More serious complications range from convulsions and unconsciousness to respiratory failure. If you get Sevin on your skin or in your eyes or if you inhale or swallow it, call a poison control center or doctor immediately. Have the product container or label with you when you call. Sevin kills bees, so do not spray it on vegetables that are surrounded by blooming plants.
