Health hazards

Exposure to Chlorfenvinphos causes typical anticholinesterase symptoms - inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity results in accumulation of acetylcholine at muscarinic and nicotinic receptors leading to peripheral and central nervous system effects. These effects usually appear within a few minutes to a few hours after exposure depending on the extent of exposure. Very toxic if swallowed, toxic by inhalation and in contact with skin, irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin, irritating to respiratory system and skin, possible skin sensitiser, if aspirated, may cause lung damage. Signs and symptoms associated with mild exposures to organophosphate and carbamate pesticides include: headache, fatigue, dizziness, loss of appetite with nausea, stomach cramps and diarrhoea; blurred vision associated with excessive tearing; contracted pupils of the eye; excessive sweating and salivation; slowed heartbeat, often fewer than 50 per minute; rippling of surface muscles just under the skin. These symptoms may be mistaken for those of flu, heat stroke or heat exhaustion, or upset stomach. Moderately severe organophosphate and carbamate insecticide poisoning cases exhibit all the signs and symptoms found in mild poisonings, but in addition, the victim: is unable to walk; often complains of chest discomfort and tightness; exhibits marked constriction of the pupils (pinpoint pupils); exhibits muscle twitching; has involuntary urination and bowel movement. Severe poisonings are indicated by incontinence, unconsciousness and seizures.
