What to expect at the emergency roomThe health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Blood and urine tests will be done. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
- Breathing help
- Fluids through a vein (IV)
- Irrigation (washing of the skin and eyes), perhaps every few hours for several days
- Medicine (antidote) to reverse the effects of the poison
- Tube through the mouth into the stomach to wash out the stomach (gastric lavage)
Patients that continue to improve over the first 4 to 6 hours (after medical treatment) usually recover. Prolonged treatment often is needed to reverse the poisoning, including intensive care hospitalization and long-term therapy. Some toxicity may persist for weeks or months, or even longer.

What does the pesticide diazinon kill?
Diazinon is an organophosphate pesticide primarily used to control a wide range of pests, including insects such as ants, cockroaches, termites, and various agricultural pests. It targets the nervous system of these organisms, leading to paralysis and death. While effective against many pests, diazinon can also pose risks to non-target organisms, including beneficial insects and aquatic life, making its use subject to regulation.

What type of chemicals do exterminators use?
Exterminators use a variety of chemicals to deal with pests. One of the most common is Diazinon, which quickly poisons most living organisms. A list of pesticides may be found at regulatory agencies such as the EPA.
Do insecticides kill humans?
Some insecticides are just as toxic to humans as they are to insects. Typically, it just takes a larger exposure to affect a human. However, some insecticides can be toxic even in small quantities. Insecticides such as malathion or diazinon would be harmful to humans in much smaller quantities than insecticides derived from soaps or orange peels.
