Chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides (termiticides) like chlordane, aldrin, lindane, etc. were known to have tremendous stability in soils and lasted a lot longer than the present termiticides; these same qualities that made them good termiticides also [doityourselftermitecontrol.com]
Phytophagous insects are able to build up this resistance because they are easily capable of evolutionary diversification and adaptation. [36] The problem this presents is that in order to obtain the same desired effect of the pesticides they have to [en.wikipedia.org]

Avoid use of ointments, greases, powders, and other drugs in first aid treatment of burns. Recognize the signs of pesticide poisoning and know first aid treatment for it. Know the importance of a pesticide first aid kit and what it should contain. [psep.cce.cornell.edu]
Prognosis
Taken together, these results suggest that serum aldrin and dieldrin levels can be used as indicators of clinical prognosis after acute poisoning with these insecticides and that convulsions could suddenly occur even in the absence of prodromal signs [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Where lindane is suspected as a toxin, serum concentrations can help to guide management and prognosis. A level of 0.02 to 0.20 mg/L is indicative of a toxic exposure with higher levels at greater risk for seizures. [calpoison.org]

Prevention
In cases of occupational exposure, alert public health authorities to assist in prevention of further exposures in a potentially unsafe work environment. [emedicine.medscape.com]
