Presentation
Abstract Background: Reproductive tract infections (RTIs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) present a huge burden of disease amongst youth in India (approx. 6%). [iapsmupuk.org]
Historically, fungicide poisoning in the U.S. was far more common than at the present time. [experttoxicologist.com]
The objective was to evaluate whether combustion/pyrolysis cannabis treated with myclobutanil presented any safety concerns. [coloradogreenlab.com]
Copper sulfate also presents health hazards to humans and larger animals since its actions are not specific to just fungi. [geneticliteracyproject.org]

Treatment
All patients received periods of treatment interspersed with lay periods; continuous treatment was suggested in future cases. [en.wikipedia.org]
Moderate-severity illness or injury consists of non--life-threatening health effects that generally are systemic and require medical treatment. [cdc.gov]
Each kind of poisoning needs a different kind of treatment. When pesticides get on the skin Most pesticide poisonings are from pesticides being absorbed through the skin. [en.hesperian.org]
In case of others- non-specifice Treatment given Atropine 0.05 mg/kg (repeated every 10-15 min) and then maintenance 0.02 to 0.05 mg/kg (at least 24 h) 2 - PAM (25-50 mg/kg) infused over 15-30 min as soon as possible (not later than 24 h). [indianpediatrics.net]
If spraying is necessary and the bees are at risk, move the bees out of the treatment area. In some cases, for example when Furadan is used at high rates, there appears to be no safe option but to remove the bees prior to treatment. [www1.agric.gov.ab.ca]

However, the epidemiological information about pesticide poisoning among children in China is limited. [bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com]

Pesticide poisoning of children is mostly preventable if effective preventive strategies are employed. It is important to provide children with a safe environment. [bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com]
Prevention [ edit ] Accidental poisonings can be avoided by proper labeling and storage of containers. [en.wikipedia.org]
To prevent poisoning it is important to use and store products exactly as their labels say. Keep dangerous products where children can't get to them. Treatment for poisoning depends on the type of poison. [icdlist.com]
