Does Cleaning Large Number Of Dead Insects Cause Health Hazard?

Yes, the place I work is experiencing thousands of crickets daily. They die from the poison they put down. I have the wonderful job of cleaning these dead crickets up. There inside the building and out. They stink to high heaven. I ve using a blower to clean them up! There dead body parts fly everywhere! Ive been getting sick since a month into this. Can I get sick from cleaning thousands of dead crickets daily???

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

Yes you can get infections of certain fungus and bacteria if you are not wearing any mask over your face .

First of all I advise you to consult a Physician or an infectious disease specialist and get evaluated and treated .

Second use a mask while cleaning those insects and also know about the poison that is been used to kill those insects and mention it to your doctor.


Hope you find this information useful.
