Please read this, and take note. Let this not happen to you. This could be a common mistake, in any household. This shocking accident happened, on the 13th of February, 2013. A housewife had died, due to burns sustained in her kitchen. Her husband was hospitalized, for injuries due to burns, while trying to rescue his wife. How it happened:- The gas stove was on, and cooking was in progress. The lady of the house observed some cockroaches, near the sink, and grabbed a can of insect killer, and sprayed it near the gas stove, which had been on at that time. 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, 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 the air.
