Call a doctor (physician), clinic or hospital immediately. EXplain that the victim has been exposed to methyl parathion and describe his condition. After fITst aid is given and if a doctor cannot come, take victim to clinic or hospital. F BREA TIllNG HAS STOPPED, start artificial respiration immediately and maintain until doctor eesvictim. E'SW ALLO\VED, drink 1 or 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching back of throat witb '"mger. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

See doctor immedi ~tely. ~OTE TO PHYSICIAN: Antidote - administer atropine sulfate in large doses, TWO to FOUR mg. ~travenously or intramuscularly as soon as cyanosis is overcome. Repeat at 5 to 10 minute intervals putil signs of atrcpinization appear. 2-P AM chloride is also antidotal and mllY be administered in Fonjunction with atropine. DQ NOTGIVE MORPHINE OR TRANQUILIZERS. Methyl parathion s a strong cholinesterase 'inhibitor affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems and producing pardiac and respiratory depression. At first sign of pulmonary edema, the patient should be given ~upplementa1 oxygen and treated symptomatically.
