Lorena, seen at 16, picks strawberries in the Santa Maria Valley. She started working in the fields when she was 11 years old and described working on hot days and drinking water provided by her bosses. It tasted foul, she says, because the jugs had not been washed. She also says that she was exposed to pesticides, including one time from spray from a nearby tractor. The chemicals made her eyes burn and she broke out in rashes, she says.
