This could be a common mistake in any household.
This is shocking accident happened on 13th May 2012 in Pune.
A housewife died due to burns sustained in the kitchen. Her husband
too was hospitalized for injuries due to burns while trying to rescue
his wife. How it happened?:- The gas stove was on and cooking
under process. The lady observed some cockroaches near the sink and
grabbed a can of insect killer and sprayed it near the gas stove,
which was on. There was an explosion and in no time the poor woman was
covered in flames, sustaining 65% burns. Her husband rushed in, tried
to douse the flames and his clothes too caught fire. The husband is
still in hospital, in the burns ward, still unaware that his wife was
declared dead on arrival.
Let us understand:- All insect killer sprays such as "Hit",
"Mortein" etc. have highly volatile and inflammable solvents. The
atomized nano spray particles spread extremely rapidly and one spark
is enough to ignite this explosive mixture with oxygen present in air.
Did the poor lady realize the hazard involved? Apparently
not!
Please educate your family about this and spread the word around....
who knows you may save more than a life....
