Description

Mevinphos is an organophosphate cholinesterase inhibitor used as an insecticide and acaricide on vegetables, alfalfa, deciduous fruits and nuts.[PubChem:5355863] Mevinphos controls a wide variety of insects, mites and ticks including aphids, grasshoppers, leafhoppers, cutworms and caterpillars that feed on field, forage, vegetable and fruit crops. Menivphos prevents cholinesterase from lysing acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid which prevents the nervous system from functioning correctly. Menivphos kills the insect on contact or when they feed on plants that have absorbed it. Menivphos is highly toxic, affecting the central nervous system, respiratory system and eyes. There is a huge occupational risk since menivphos can be absorbed through the skin, lungs, and mucous membranes. Symptoms of poison can be apparent within 15 minutes of exposure, but can be delayed for up to 2 days. Early symptoms of poisoning include impaired judgement or ability to reason. Later symptoms include giddiness, tightness in the chest, blurred vision, tearing, hearing issues, loss of muscle coordination, slurred speech, mental confusion, breathing difficulty, increased blood pressure, convulsions, and coma.[http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/metiram-propoxur/mevinphos-ext.html] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
