Chemical herbicides:

Glyphosate (e.g., Roundup): There is no specific antidote. Treatment mainly involves gastric lavage, activated charcoal adsorption, and blood purification.

Paraquat: High mortality rate. Immediate application of kaolin or activated charcoal is necessary to reduce absorption, supplemented by hemodialysis.

2,4-D: For poisoning, wash the skin with an alkaline solution. For oral poisoning, induce vomiting and administer fluids.

Biological herbicides: Generally have lower toxicity, but allergic reactions require antihistamines.

 

General treatment principles:

After contact: Immediately rinse with clean water for at least 15 minutes.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting (except for corrosive components). Drink milk or egg white to protect mucous membranes and seek medical attention.

Inhalation: Move to a well-ventilated area and administer oxygen.

 

Precautions:

Use protective equipment (gloves, masks, etc.).

Strictly follow label instructions and avoid mixing.
