Safety hazards rise as yard work grows in Iowa city
An 83 year old Iowa City housewife lost her big toe when a riding mower veered into a ditch. The Institute of Agricultural Medicine at the University of Iowa warns gardening and yard work have become the nation’s top outdoor pastime and a major safety concern. Experts cite moving blades as a leading danger, with flying debris and equipment like trimmers and tillers causing injuries. They urge staying clear of moving parts, avoiding repairs while powered, and protecting children. Soil bacteria and parasites pose infection risks, while fertilizers and chemicals add hazards for kids. Gardening can be healthy if overexertion is avoided, as heart and circulatory problems and heat stress are concerns.
