FIRST AID MEASURES AND PRECAUTIONS Pyrethroids can induce burning, itching or tingling sensations, typically in the face, and less frequently in other regions of the skin and readily disappear within several hours or 1 day after exposure. Nasal discharge and a scratchy throat from inhalation, ataxia, urinary incontinence, convulsions, nervous irritability and tremors may also appear. Sweating and washing with warm water can exacerbate these abnormal sensations. Transient red papules, congestion and edema of the skin are occasionally seen. The systemic symptoms in mild cases include dizziness, headache, nausea, anorexia and fatigue, or with signs of listlessness, vomiting and increased stomach secretion, usually resulting in sick leave for more than 1 day. Inhalation: Remove the source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. The patient should be kept under observation and transported to a health center if necessary.
