Pesticides Nearby.. but staying healthy comic


This pesticide comic book targets migrant and seasonal farmworker families to educate parents about children's risks to pesticide exposure and ways to minimize these risks. The latest edition is currently only available Spanish though we are working on releasing an updated version of the comic in English.

We are currently "sold out" of our printed pesticide comic book. We are looking for additional funding. In the meantime, please download an e-copy.

Lo Que Bien Empieza

MCN Spanish educational comic book that addresses pesticide exposure in women of reproductive age. LO QUE BIEN EMPIEZA...BIEN ACABA: Consejos para las mujeres para prevenir daños a la salud y a sus bebés causados por pesticidas.

The manual is a guide that can be used by community workers, educators, and health promoters for their educational activities in the community. It provides information on the risks of exposure to environmental contaminants and pesticides and ways to reduce those risks. It also includes useful information and tips for working in the community. 

As for the comic book, community workers, educators and health promoters can use it as an educational tool to inform their community about the risks of environmental contaminants and pesticides.
