Exposure to insecticides can occur by ingestion, inhalation, or exposure to skin or eyes. The chemicals are absorbed through the skin, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract and then widely distributed in tissues.
Insecticide poisoning is exposure to a group of chemicals designed to eradicate insects that cause affected persons to develop clinical signs that can progress to death.
Adherence to accepted guidelines for handling and management is the key to preventing insecticide poisoning. These may include masks, gowns, gloves, goggles, respiratory breathing machines, or hazardous material suits.
Treatment for insecticide poisoning may include decontamination of the skin and eyes, respiratory support, administration of specific antidotes if available, and symptomatic treatment to manage symptoms like seizures or respiratory distress. It is important to seek medical help immediately if insecticide poisoning is suspected.
Bacteria and viruses are the most common causes of food poisoning. Parasites, mold, toxins, contaminants and allergens are also causes of food poisoning.
Strains of E.Coli can cause food poisoning.
Mercury.
Phosphorus poisoning causes yellow fatty liver.
clostridium botulinum.
Food poisoning causes stomach aches, vomiting, sweating, and "shakes."
Lead poisoning typically does not cause pinpoint pupils. Pinpoint pupils are more commonly associated with opioid overdose or use. Lead poisoning can cause a variety of symptoms, including abdominal pain, fatigue, and cognitive impairment.
Prognosis depends on the specific chemical of exposure, magnitude and time of exposure, progression of symptoms (severity), and onset for medical attention.
Salmonella causes food poisoning, but it isn't the only cause. They are not synonymous.
