Are you suspecting Organophosphate poisoning? The signs & symptoms you have written in your history are not pointing towards Organophosphate poisoning. Patient should have signs for SLUDE (Salivation, Lacrimation, Urination, Defecation and Emesis).

How long ago did he had exposure to pesticides and in what way i.e inhalation or swallowing? before he developed these symptoms? Could this be coincidental
