[QUOTE="Timbo1080, post: 7006640, member: 3693"] As above, its very difficult to make an informed comment without knowing what was being sprayed...... However, in most usual circumstances, that "strong chemical smell" is [I]usually[/I] the solvents evaporating away, while the actual chemical is left on the leaf. Some solvents can be pretty pokey especially in warm weather as it all evaporates at once in one big cloud - Hence people sniffing glue etc, and sensible people wearing masks when in their presence. I made a silly mistake a few years ago, and was amazed at how 'high' i got while handling fungicides......Had very similar symptoms to you, adding that i also became so dizzy that i felt a bit drunk. Needless to say i haven't made that mistake again. Symptoms went away after an hour or so. Hope you're feeling better. [/QUOTE]
