Abstract
Exposure to 2 organophosphate insecticides [mevinphos and phosphamidon] occurred when entry into a cauliflower field was permitted 4 h after application of highly toxic chemicals. It resulted in acute illness of mild to moderate degree in 19 farm workers, including 3 children and 1 pregnant woman. There were no fatalities. Two to 3 mo. were required for recovery from major symptoms and return to normal acetylcholinesterase levels. An exception was the persistence of eye symptoms in the majority 4 mo. after the day of exposure.
