over 300 Peruvian workers get sick from pesticides by Amanda Cervantes

    Last Tuesday about five hundred Peruvians arrived at their job in a farm field. only to get intoxicated with pesticides that had been sprayed earlier that morning in the adjacent field. 378 of the workers, most of them being women, two of them pregnant were intoxicated through inhalation and take to a nearby hospital. Thankfully most of the patients were released Tuesday night
