This could be a common mistake in any household. This shocking accident
happened on 13th May 2012 in Pune, India.
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 in progress. 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 put out the flames and his clothes too caught fire.
The husband is 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 very
rapidly and one spark is enough to ignite this explosive mixture with oxygen
present in air. Please educate your family & friends about this and spread
the word around....
