Description

Methomyl is a carbamate and cholinesterase inhibitor insecticide and acaricide used on vegetables, fruit crops, field crops, cotton, commercial ornamental plants, and in and around poultry houses and dairies. It is both a contact and systemic insecticide and is not toxic to plants that absorb it. Methomyl is a cholinesterase inhibitor that impacts the normal functioning of the nervous system. Methomyl is extremely toxic to humans when it is ingested or absorbed through the eyes. It is moderately toxic when it is inhaled and less toxic if exposed to the skin. Symptoms of methomyl poisoning include weakness, blurred vision, headache, nausea, abdominal cramps, chest discomfort, constriction of pupils, sweating, muscle tremors, and reduced pulse rate. Severe exposure to methomyl can result in twitching, giddiness, confusion, loss of muscle coordination, slurred speech, low blood pressure, heart irregularities, and loss of reflexes. Methomyl can be fatal due to respiratory failure, respiratory muscle paralysis, severe constriction of the openings to the lungs, or all three. Methomyl is toxic to fish, birds, aquatic invertebrates, and bees. Soil microbes quickly break down methomyl. Because of its high solubility in water, there is an increased risk for groundwater pollution.[http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/haloxyfop-methylparathion/methomyl-ext.html] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
