What to do if you get pesticide poisoning on your skin

Most people's skin is very sensitive and can be easily stimulated by various external factors, causing great damage to their health. For example, poisoning is a common skin problem, especially skin poisoning caused by pesticides, which is extremely harmful and puts patients at risk of life. Let’s take a look at what to do if you get pesticide poisoning on your skin. I hope everyone will deal with this situation in a timely manner.

Removing the poison as quickly as possible is the key to saving the patient's life. For those with skin contamination, contaminated clothes should be removed immediately and the patient should be rinsed repeatedly with plenty of clean water. For those who have ingested the poison orally and are conscious, vomiting should be induced repeatedly on the spot. The patient must never be taken to the hospital without any treatment, otherwise the absorption of poisons will increase and the condition will worsen.

In case of oral poisoning, immediately induce vomiting and wash the stomach with concentrated salt water, soapy water, etc.

For those who are poisoned through the skin, rinse the skin with soapy water or clean water immediately. For dermatitis, apply calamine lotion or 2% - 3% boric acid water for wet compresses. If pesticides splash into your eyes, rinse them several times with plenty of water or saline, and take chlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, etc. orally.

You must go to the hospital for appropriate treatment to get the right medicine.

Symptoms of poisoning: Oral symptoms include intermittent pain, nausea and vomiting, burning pain in the upper abdomen, fatigue, loss of appetite, chest tightness, drooling, etc. In severe cases, there is confusion, increased secretions from the mouth, nose, and trachea, trembling of the hands, muscle twitching, irregular heartbeat, etc. Severe symptoms include difficulty breathing, cyanosis, bubbling sounds in the lungs, paroxysmal convulsions or seizures in the limbs, loss of consciousness, and in severe cases, deep coma and shock, with repeated tonic convulsions causing laryngeal spasms and even death from suffocation.

The skin symptoms include redness, irritation, itching, and numbness of the skin. In severe cases, papules, blisters, and erosions may occur. When the eyes are invaded by pesticides, symptoms include conjunctival congestion, pain, photophobia, tearing, and red and swollen eyelids.

People with allergies must take early prevention and pay attention to skin care to prevent symptoms from becoming more severe. For those with multiple allergic symptoms, it is recommended to start with the cause and stay away from allergens. More importantly, it is necessary to fundamentally improve the allergic constitution and prevent recurrence of facial skin allergies.
