What are the symptoms of organohosphate insecticide poisoning?
Organophosphate insecticide poisoning usually results after prolonged exposure to, misuse of, or direct contact with a concentrated pesticide product. Misuse of label instructions or accidental spillage may result in injury to an individual or contamination of water sources. Headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, burns, profuse sweating, and unconsciousness are some of the symptoms which may be experienced when significant poisoning has occurred. It is for this reason that an individual must know what has been sprayed. ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW THE LABEL! If poisoning is suspected or has occurred, call the poison control or seek medical advice immediately. If possible have the label with you when you call.
