That is live green tobacco sickness . Yes if you are in wet green tobacco , sweating all day long you can get sick . Dizzy and sick at your stomach , but I have never heard of anyone passing on to the other side from it .Heavy morning few or rain making tobacco wet and transfers the nicotine to you . You also have to realize that tobacco workers are in the hot sun or a barn working and sweat a lot .
With cured tobacco I have not heard of anyone getting sick from handling cured leaves .
