• Seizure

  As with other toxin-mediated seizures, phenytoin is usually ineffective for organochlorine-induced seizures. It is important to monitor for and recognize the dysrhythmogenic effects of organochlorine agents. [calpoison.org]

  Tracy Dicks, a vet at Fourways clinic where the baboons were treated, said she had established that dieldrin caused "massive brain seizures". Once it was in the system of an animal, there was nothing that could be done to reverse its lethal effects. [iol.co.za]

Epidemiology The historic legacy of organochlorine pesticides is both impressive and controversial. [calpoison.org]

The epidemiology of the Talagang outbreak suggested that a shipment of food (possibly sugar) was contaminated en route to the city 17. Some simple reported examples from throughout the world 18 show how vulnerable and at what riskwe are. [jpma.org.pk]

Pathophysiology Organochlorines are well absorbed orally and by inhalation. Transdermal absorption is variable. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology The major acute effect of the organochlorine agents is central nervous system stimulation. Several mechanisms seem to contribute to this effect. [calpoison.org]

It is estimated for example, that DDT saved 50 million lives from 1940 to 1953 and prevented an additional 1 billion cases of human infectious disease. [calpoison.org]

Perhaps the most overarching way to prevent the build-up of toxins is to pursue a detoxified lifestyle — that is according to Dr. [reset.me]
