- Gardening: A Hazard To Your Health?
If you tend to buy into stereotypes, when you think about gardening, you probably think of little old retired women in oversized straw hats on their hands and knees tending to their petunias or tomatoes or whatever. However, gardening is a hobby enjoyed by many people of all genders and ages, and it’s a hobby that sometimes proves to not be for the faint of heart. Regardless of your experience with or thoughts about gardening, you can actually be injured while gardening. Really. It’s true.
While gardening itself may not be a hazard to your health, the little unexpected events that come along with gardening can be serious health hazards. Think about it. You’re on your hands and knees, pulling weeds or doing whatever it is that you do to your plants, and suddenly a snake springs up and bites you. Or an angry rabbit attacks you. Or you catch a serious case poison oak. Or you step on your hoe and get knocked out by the handle when it flies up and thumps your head.
