I'm doing a presentation for Organic Chemistry II on Pesticides and Herbicides.

As part of this presentation, I plan on discussing poisonings, their assessment,

and treatment. Obviously, I'll do generic organophosphate poisoning. But do

y'all have any suggestions for other pesticides or herbicide poisonings that

have a different presentation and treatment? I also plan on discussing the use

of pesticides in biowarfare.

Also, does anyone have any suggestions for good handouts/pamplets/etc. for this?

I think the professor might get a bit mad if I passed out free samples of DDT to

everyone. :-)

Thanks for the input!

Paraquat herbicide poisoning, in the later stages, often results in respiratory

distress secondary to pulmonary fibrosis. While it seems obvious to administer

oxygen to such a patient, the supplemental oxygen often fuels the production of

free oxide radicals, worsening the pulmonary fibrosis.
