Re: pesticide poisoningAre 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).

Re: pesticide poisoningHow 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
