rules/resources

[Guest guest]

I was delighted to see your contribution to the migrant health listserv, because

it provides a current address for you. The one I had didn't work.

About a week ago, I tried to send this message to you along with Lynden Baum and

Ernest Arvizu:

I've committed to coordinating a pesticide workshop at the Western Migrant

Stream Forum when it convenes in Sacramento this coming February. My goal, apart

from getting these people to think about pesticides, is to identify resources

for them to consult when need arises--and of course, to remind them that they

should report such conditions.

In the session description, I promise to describe " published, web-based, and

human resources " . I plan to display copies of 'Recognition and Management' and

of the California 'Guidelines for Physicians', as well as some more specialized

agrochemical and toxicological references. Do your states publish guides to

specific local requirements? If so, can I get copies? Do you have preferred

resources on the Internet or elsewhere that you recommend to clinicians?

I'd also like to provide a summary of reporting requirements. Would you please

explain what doctors are supposed to do if they recognize a pesticide poisoning

in your jurisdictions?

Thanks for any and all suggestions

Now that the schedule is out, I see my proposal has been combined with five

others into a monster session, the upshot of which is currently uncertain. I'd

still like to provide information about how to report in each state, though.
