pesticide poisoning
Toxic spray exposure
Pesticide poisoning is illness caused by exposure to chemicals designed to kill insects, rodents, weeds, or other pests.
Symptoms range from mild—nausea, dizziness, skin irritation—to severe organ damage or death, depending on the substance and dose.
Exposure can occur through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact.
Farmworkers and children face elevated risk.
