X68: Intentional self-poisoning by and exposure to pesticides

Intentional self-poisoning by and exposure to pesticides refers to a group of conditions resulting from the deliberate ingestion, inhalation, or skin exposure to substances that are used to control pests such as insects, rodents, or weeds. This group of conditions can present a multitude of symptoms, which can vary based on the type and amount of pesticide exposed and the route of exposure. Symptoms might include nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, excessive sweating, difficulty breathing, convulsions, loss of consciousness, or even death in severe cases. These conditions typically progress rapidly, with symptoms manifesting shortly after exposure, particularly if large amounts of pesticide were involved. The digestive, nervous, and respiratory systems are often the most directly affected by these conditions. However, long-term exposure or large dose poisoning can result in various organ damage and may have serious impacts on overall health.
