POISON SIGNS (SYMPTOMS I Parathion is a very dangerous poison. It rapidly enters the body on contact with all sk1n sufaces and ees. Clothing wet ith this material must be removed immediately. Exposed persons must receive prompt medical tretment or they may die. Some of the signs and symptoms of poisoning are: Headache, nausea, vomiting, cramps, weakness, blurred V1510n, pin-point pupils, tightness in chest, labored breathing, nervousness, sweating, watering eyes, drooling or frothing of mouth and nose, muscle spasms and coma. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN Antidote: Administer atropine sulfate in.large doses two to four mg. intravenously or intramuscularly as soon as cyanosis is overcome. Repeat at 5 to 10 minute intervals until signs of atropinization appear. 2-PAM chloride is also .antidotal and may be administered in conjnction with atropine. DO NOT GIVE MORPHINE OR TRANQUILIZERS. Parathion is a strong gholinesterae inhibitor affecting the central and peripheral nervous system and producing cardiac and respiratory depression. At first sign of pulmonary edema the patient should be given supplemental oxygen and treated symptomatically. Continued absorption. of the poison may occur and fatal relapses have been reported after initial improvement. VERY CLOSE SOPERVXSION OF THE PATIENT IS INDICATED FOR AT LEAST 48 HOURS. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This pesticide is highly toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, and wildlife. Birds in treated areas may be killed. Shrimp and othEr aquatic organisms may be killed at recommended application rates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff and drift from target areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in adjacent aquatic sites. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. This product is extremely toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming 1US or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift: to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the tre~~~~nt a~~~.

Shut-off devices must be installed on the exit end of all hoses and at all disccnnect points to prevent leakage of parathion when the transfer is stopped and the hose is removed or disconnected. If a hose carried parathion concentrate and has not been rinsed in accordance with the instructions in this section, a dry-couple shutoff device that will minimize parathion drippage to not more than 2 mI. per disconnect must be installed at the disconnect point. If the hose carried diluted-for-use parathion or rinsate solution, a reversing action pump or a similar system that will empty the hose and eliminate dripping of liquid from the ed of the hose may be used as an alternative to a shut-off device.
