Trump saved a pesticide Obama wanted banned. Then, it poisoned several farmworkers. In early May, laborers harvesting cabbage in a field near Bakersfield, California, caught a whiff of an odor. Some suddenly felt nauseated.<\/p>\n

A local news station reported<\/a> that winds blew the pesticide Vulcan \u2014 which was being sprayed on a mandarin orchard owned by the produce company Sun Pacific \u2014 into Dan Andrews Farms\u2019 cabbage patch.<\/p>\n

Vulcan\u2019s active ingredient, chlorpyrifos, has been banned for residential use for more than 15 years. It was scheduled to be off-limits to agriculture this year \u2014 until the EPA gave it a reprieve in March. Kern County officials are still confirming whether Sun Pacific\u2019s insecticide contained chlorpyrifos.<\/p>\n

More than 50 farmworkers were exposed, and 12 reported symptoms, including vomiting and fainting. One was hospitalized. \u201cWhether it\u2019s nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, seek medical attention immediately,\u201d a Kern County Public Health official warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
