What help is available for people who are chronically ill as a result of pesticide exposure?
Chronic pesticide poisoning is not well understood. Many GPs will be unaware of pesticide poisoning as a possible cause of symptoms. However, they can investigate other possible causes of symptoms and may refer you to specialists, e.g. a neurologist or toxicology unit. If no cause can be identified, then any treatment offered is likely to be along the lines of ameliorating and managing symptoms.
