What should you do if you suspect pesticide overexposure?

If you suspect pesticide overexposure, seeking medical attention immediately is the appropriate course of action. Pesticides can pose serious health risks, and symptoms may not always be immediately apparent. Prompt medical evaluation is crucial for determining the level of exposure and receiving appropriate treatment. Medical professionals are trained to recognize symptoms of pesticide poisoning and can provide life-saving intervention or supportive care as necessary.

Other choices, such as waiting for symptoms to subside, consulting a friend, or attempting home remedies, may lead to delays in receiving necessary care, potentially exacerbating health risks associated with pesticide exposure. Immediate professional medical attention is always the safest approach in cases of suspected overexposure.
