What Does Blood Contamination With Organophosphate Pesticide Mean?
Gregor who works at a pesticide factory comes to the clinic complaining of muscle spasms that interfere with his movement and breathing. A blood test shows that he has been contaminated with organophosphate pesticide, which is an acetylocholinesterase inhibitor. How would you explain to Gregor what this means?

hi, you have organo phosphate poisoning. OP poisoning is the most common poisoning. your muscle spasm is just due to that. you have acetyl choline esterase inhibitors which is responsible for your symptoms. you should take antidotes of that. Dont worry you will be ok. just be relaxed. consult your physician and take antidote according to your need.
