The hazard of pesticide varies with the formulation, whether solution or powder and method of application, whether dip, spray or dust. Some are inflammable and present a fire hazard. Poisoning result immediately from a single large dose or, as is more likely, due to accumulated small doses in the body over a period of time. Take patient to doctor immediately together with label description of chemical. Do not allow the patient to drive.
Some users are allergic to contact with pesticides.
Avoid direct contact with pesticides by wearing protective clothing and always use a respirator. In the event of an allergic reaction, contact a doctor immediately. Pack well to avoid vehicle contamination by spillage or leaks. Preparation Mixing is the most dangerous time in the use of pesticides as it involves handling the concentrate. Read the label carefully and heed all recommendations.
