Toxicity to pets

Organophosphates are a group of synthetic chemicals used in low concentration as insecticides. Companion animals are exposed to organophosphates by ingestion of concentrated or ready-to-use product, ingestion of a plant that has been treated with an insecticide, or skin/ eye contact with an organophosphate. Exposure to an organophosphate by an animal may result in gastrointestinal distress (e.g., drooling, vomiting, diarrhea), eye/ skin irritation (e.g., squinting, tearful eyes, rash), neurological signs (e.g., changes in pupil size, trembling, seizure), and death.
