Family Medicine’s Role in Recognizing Pesticide Poisoning

Pesticide exposures affect vulnerable populations inequitably. Farmworkers, people in poverty, and children have a higher risk of pesticide exposure and poisoning. Frequently, they have limited resources to reduce exposure risks and less access to care for acute and chronic injury and related secondary diseases. Physicians caring for these populations have the opportunity to address related health issues if they are mindful of pesticides as potential etiologies when developing differential diagnoses.
