• 
Some ofthe signs and symptoms of poisoning are: Headache, nausea, vomiting, cramps, weakness, 
blurred vision, pin-point pupils, tightness in chest, labored breathing, nervousness, sweating, watering of 
eyes, drooling cr frothing of mouth and nose, muscle spasms and coma. 
NOTE TO PHVSICIAN 
Since any symptoms from absorption of this combination product are likely to be those of ethyl parathion 
intoxication, treatment should be directed towards the relief of cholinesterase inhibition. 
ANTIDOTE-Administer atropine sulfate in large doses, TWO to FOUR mg. intravenously or intramuscu­
larly as soon as cyanosis is overcome. Repeat at 5 to 10 minute intervals until signs of atropinization ap­
pear. 2-P AM chloride is also antidotal and may be administered In conjunction with atropine. DO NOT 
GIVE MORPHJNE OR TRANQUrULERS. Parathion isa strong cholinesterase inhibitor affecting the 
central and peripheral nervous systems and producing cardiac and respiratory depression. At first sign of 
pulmonary edema, the patient should be given supplemental o""ygen and treated symptomatically. Contin­
ued absorption of the poison may occur and fatal relapses have been reported after initial improvement: 
VERY CLOSE SUPERVISION OFTHE PATIENT IS INDICATED FOR AT LEP·<;T 48 HOURS. 
ElI\VlrWNMENTALHAZARDS 
This pesticide is highly toxic to fish and wildlife. Birds in treated areas may be killed. Do not apply directly 
to water or wetlands (swamps. marshes, bogs. and pot holes). Run-offand drift from target area may be 
hazardous to aquatic organisms in adjacent aquatic sites. Do not contaminate water by disposal of equip­
ment washwaters. 
This product is extremely toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or 
weeds. Do not apply this product or allow to drift to blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product 
or allow to drift to blooming crops or weeds ifb~es are visiting the treatment area.

The system shall be rinsed ac;ording to the specifications of the manufacturer ofthe probe system. or, in the 
absence of such specifications. by moving at least one halfofthe container volume through the system. A 
minimum pressure of I 5 psi !'hall be used for the spray rinse. Parathion containers shall be protected against 
excessive pressure during the container rinse operation. Measures shall be taken to prevent the spray rinse 
procedure from causing an increase in pressure on the inside of the container walls of more than 5 psi. 
• Either the operator of the cI :Jsed system must have available at the time of operation a complete set of
