  1. Canning is a good way to make your bounty last, but the dangers of canning incorrectly<\/a> are deadly serious. If you’re not sure how to can properly take a class or read up a lot before canning to avoid harming your family.<\/li>\n
  2. During pregnancy make sure you always wash your hands after a gardening session. Toxoplasmosis<\/a> Is a risk due to the fact that cats like to use gardens as their litter box at times.<\/li>\n
  3. No matter if you’re in the garden for a few minutes or a few hours you should be wearing safe sunscreen<\/a>. That means year round too. The sun’s rays can harm your skin even in winter.<\/li>\n
  4. When lifting heavy items (i.e. bags o’ soil) use the correct lifting position<\/a> to avoid back and leg injuries.<\/li>\n
  5. Never place toxic chemicals up high without first making sure the caps are on tight. The last thing you need is a bottle of fertilizer falling on your face. In fact a smarter move is to try organic gardening and skip this risk altogether.<\/li>\n
  6. Keep sharp tools sharpened all the time. Not only will they work better but if you get cut a clean cut is better than a rusty jagged cut. IF you get cut treat the injury right away with a disinfectant and if it swells, turns odd colors, or is overly painful see a doctor.<\/li>\n
  7. Be aware of lightening dangers<\/a> in stormy weather.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
