Nude sunbathers sprayed with weedkiller
Nudists on a Dorset beach have complained to environmental health officers after being sprayed with weedkiller while sunbathing.
Helicopters were spraying bracken on a nearby heath when a strong wind blew the material over the group.
The nudists were covered with the herbicide Asulox, reports The Daily Mail.
One of them, Colin James, 59, said: "The victims had to leave the beach, because they were suffering from headaches, streaming eyes, coughs and sore throats."
The naturists have complained to the National Trust, which commissioned the spraying at Studland.
They have also reported the matter to environmental health officers.
Roger Garwood of Purbeck District Council, said: "Several sunbathers suffered sore throats and other sore parts.
"There was a buffer zone of 200 metres but the hot and windy weather caused problems by evaporating the droplets."
