Title: Indigenous Migrant Workers Struggle Against Pesticides
Address: http://isla.igc.org/Features/Border/mex5.html
Author: Rufino DomÃnguez Santos
About: Describes an Indigenous group in Mexico and how they have migrated to Baja to find better work, better homes, and a more stable life. However, they have had much trouble with the pesticides as it has effected the water, the soil, and the health. Many have actually died from Pesticide poisoning, and a few at relatively young ages. (One died at the age of 18.) Does describe some symptoms workers feel as well after working in the fields without protective equipment.
