Tips To Save Life In Kitchen or Using Insect Killer Sprays

This could be a common mistake in any household.

This is shocking accident happened on 13th July 2012 in Pune.

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 under process. 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 douse 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.

Lets understand, what happened :All insect killer sprays such as "Hit", "Mortein" etc. have highly volatile and inflammable solvents.
The atomized nano spray particles spread extremely rapidly and one spark is enough to ignite this explosive mixture with oxygen present in air.

Did the poor lady realize the hazard involved?
Apparently not!
