Dicrotophos belongs to the group of pesticides called organophosphates which
affect the nervous system by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase. It can overstimulate the
nervous system causing nausea, dizziness, confusion; and at very high exposures
respiratory paralysis and death may occur. Delayed effect of dicrotophos is

may be organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN). This neuropathy is
characterized by flaccid paralysis of the lower limbs, partial sensory loss,
