Public Service Announcement - An Unexpected Killer!



One of the biggest and most down played killers of all time is ignorance. Some people say what you don't know can't hurt you but that cannot be further from the truth. A lot of times, it is what you don't know that does hurt you. A very good example is the experience you are about to read about.
Do you use GAS for cooking?
If YES!, then please read this and take note!

Let not what happened to this household get repeated again Oooo!, as this is a common mistake in any household! 
How did it happened?!
The gas stove was on and cooking for the family's dinner was in progress. The lady of the house observed some cockroaches near the sink and grabbed a can of insecticide and sprayed it near the gas stove on which she was cooking. 
Instantly, there was an explosion and in no time the poor woman was covered in flames, sustaining 65% burns! 
Her husband rushed in, tried to put out the flames and his clothes too caught fire. The husband is still in hospital, in the burns ward unaware that his wife was declared dead on arrival! 
Let us understand this: - All and any brand of insecticide have highly volatile and inflammable solvents. The atomized spray particles spread very rapidly and one spark is enough to ignite this explosive mixture with oxygen present in air! 
Therefore, please educate your family and friends about this and spread the word around! 
REMEMBER!, DO NOT SPRAY ANY INSECTICIDE NEAR A BURNING OBJECT!

Be careful not only of insecticides but of any inflammable object which includes almost all aerosols such as perfumes, hair sprays and even air fresheners.

Be guided!
