Can organophosphorus poisoning lead to death

summary

A friend couldn't think of drinking pesticide not long ago. Later, he found it early and went to the hospital in time for rescue. There was no danger of life. So, will organophosphorus poisoning lead to death? Let's talk about it.

Can organophosphorus poisoning lead to death

First of all, organophosphorus pesticides (OPS) are widely used and the largest amount of pesticides in China. The main insecticides were DDVP (1609, 4049), malathion (1609, 4049). Acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP) refers to a series of injuries caused by a large number of organophosphorus pesticides entering the human body in a short time, mainly including cholinergic excitement or crisis, intermediate syndrome (IMS) and delayed peripheral neuropathy (opidpn).

Secondly, there are three main ways for organophosphorus pesticides to enter the human body: through the mouth - mistakenly taken or actively taken (seen in those who commit suicide); through the skin and mucous membrane - it is more common for organophosphorus pesticides to fall on the skin when spraying pesticides in hot weather. Due to skin sweating and pore expansion, and the fat solubility of organophosphorus pesticides, they are easily absorbed into the body through the skin and mucous membrane; through the respiratory tract Entry - organic phosphorus in the air enters the body with respiration. After oral administration of the poison, the disease usually occurs within 10 minutes to 2 hours. Poisoning by skin absorption usually occurs within a few hours to six days after exposure to organophosphorus pesticides.

Finally, organophosphorus pesticides are absorbed by the body or mucous membrane, causing poisoning The toxicity of organophosphate insecticides to human and livestock is mainly the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, which causes the accumulation of acetylcholine and the continuous impulse of cholinergic nerve, leading to a series of poisoning symptoms of muscarinic, nicotinic and central nervous system symptoms of first excitation and then failure. Every year, millions of people around the world suffer from organophosphate poisoning, and some of them also suffer from it About 300000 people died, mostly in developing countries.

matters needing attention

At ordinary times, we should pay attention to the prevention of poisoning, which is mainly caused by taking pesticides by mistake. We should strengthen safety publicity and education, let the masses take good care of organophosphorus pesticides, and do not mix them with daily necessities, so as to avoid being taken by mistake.
