How Pesticide Exposure Happens
Pesticide exposure can occur in many ways, often without the victim even realizing it. For example:
- Occupational exposure
- Environmental drift
- Contamination of soil
- Contamination of groundwater
- Residential use
- Residue of toxins in foodstuffs
Pesticide exposure can have serious impacts ranging from mild, short-term symptoms to severe, life-altering conditions like respiratory problems, skin issues, neurological effects, reproductive harm and increased cancer risk.
Illnesses And Damages As A Result Of Pesticide Exposure
When someone is exposed to harmful pesticides, they may develop either acute or chronic symptoms. Many workers experience long-term exposure on a consistent basis. The symptoms they see can differ widely, depending on the type of chemicals and the type of exposure.
In many cases, the symptoms are severe. Some pesticides are human carcinogens, meaning that long-term exposure may lead to the development of potentially fatal types of cancer. Both contact exposure and unintentional consumption – such as breathing the fumes – could also lead to:
- Internal bleeding
- Fever
- Chronic headaches
- Respiratory issues
- Anxiety and confusion
- Skin or eye irritation
- Digestive issues
Even short-term exposure could lead to serious complications if the pesticides are inhaled, ingested or applied to the skin. Pesticide exposure can ultimately lead to convulsions, unconsciousness or respiratory failure. Those who survive these short-term issues could still develop serious ailments, such as cancer or long-term respiratory problems. Along with their family members, they may be interested in talking to a pesticide exposure lawyer.
