Will you be poisoned by smelling pesticides?

In order to prevent pests from growing on the vegetables they grow, farmers will spray pesticides on the vegetables. However, pesticides are a kind of chemical drugs that can cause great harm to the human body. If you eat vegetables containing pesticides for a long time, it will cause great damage to your organs. Many farmers choose to drink pesticides when they commit suicide, because pesticides can kill people instantly after drinking them. But if a person smells pesticides for a long time, will it lead to poisoning?

If the smell of pesticides persists for a long time, it will definitely be harmful to the body. There are two main types of pesticides commonly used today:

1. Pyrethroids . This type of pesticide is low in toxicity and has a light odor. If absorbed in large quantities, the main symptoms of poisoning are: ① Local irritation: redness, swelling, pain, and rash at the contact site. ② Gastrointestinal manifestations: salivation, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloody stools. ③ Nervous system: headache, dizziness, fatigue, numbness, irritability, muscle tremors, convulsions, pupil constriction, and coma. ④ Respiratory system: dyspnea, pulmonary edema, etc. ⑤ Cardiovascular system: increased heart rate, arrhythmia, increased blood pressure, etc.

2. Organophosphorus . This type of pesticide is generally highly toxic, and moderate symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, sweating, tearing, runny nose, salivation, diarrhea, frequent urination, incontinence, slow heartbeat and pupil constriction, bronchospasm and increased secretions, coughing, shortness of breath, and in severe cases, pulmonary edema. In severe cases, it can cause death.

How to deal with the smell of pesticides in your home:

1 If the smell of pesticides comes from outside your home, for example, if you live on the edge of a village, and the smell comes from pesticides sprayed on crops near your village, you don't have to worry too much. The smell of pesticides sprayed on farmland will usually disappear within a few days. However, it is best to let the baby leave home and hide outside for a few days during these days, because the baby's resistance is too weak.

2 If the pesticide smell comes from your home, it is best to place the pesticide and pesticide-contaminated farm tools somewhere away from your home.

3 If it is inconvenient to place pesticides and contaminated farm tools outside, then place them in a small house. The house should be built in a corner away from the main house, and the doors and windows of the house should be tightly closed. This will ensure that the pesticides will not evaporate in the yard, and also ensure that the pesticides are not exposed to sunlight and stored at low temperatures, thus extending the expiration date.

4 If the pesticide smell comes from your neighbors, communicate with them and discuss solutions.

5 If the pesticide smell comes from new house decoration and new furniture, it is best to remove and throw away them.
