2, nervous system symptoms: pesticides and snake killers, the main components of insect drugs, contain neurotoxicity. If you take too many insect drugs, you will show nervous system symptoms, such as dizziness, headache, dry mouth, salivation, muscle aches and so on.
3, respiratory paralysis: after eating too many insect drugs seriously, symptoms such as respiratory paralysis and pulmonary edema will appear in a short time. If it is not treated in time, it will be life-threatening.

In the process of inducing vomiting, patients can rinse their mouths with warm water to help quickly expel drugs from their mouths; At the same time, patients should drink more water to accelerate the metabolism and excretion of drugs.
Before seeing a doctor, you should try to collect the relevant information such as the packaging bag and instructions of the medicine so as to facilitate the treatment of the doctor. If the patient's symptoms are serious, he needs to be referred to the hospital for treatment in time. Don't wait, or the consequences will be unimaginable.
