I will like to share that this is one of the many insecticides people use to kill bed bugs in a psychiatric and mental health care facilities where an outrageous amount of bud bugs exists. Some Care home operators are very overwhelmed and frustrated to the point they are compelled to fight these bedbugs with any chemical that seemed to work.
One day one of the caregivers after cleaning the infected beds, presented with the following symptoms and was unable to report to duty the following day. Among her presenting symptoms were but are not limited to irritation of the nose, throat, eyes or skin, headache, dizziness, vomiting excessive, salivation, coughing, mental confusion, and she ended up in the emergency room.
Some health effects from pesticide exposure may occur right away, as you are being exposed. Some symptoms may occur several hours after exposure. Other effects may not be noticed for years, for example cancer.
Some symptoms of pesticide exposure will go away as soon as the exposure stops. Others may take some time to go away. For people exposed to pesticides on a regular basis, long-term health effects are a concern.
Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding should check with their doctors before working with pesticides as some pesticides may be harmful to the fetus (unborn baby) or to breast-fed infants.
Certified pesticide applicators or people who work with pesticides are encouraged to have regular medical check-ups. Tell your doctor which pesticides you are working with and/or exposed to.
