Toxicological Information

Tetrachlorvinphos is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Typical symptoms of overexposure to cholinesterase inhibitors include headache, nausea, dizziness, sweating, salivation, runny nose and eyes. This may progress to muscle twitching, weakness, tremor, incoordination, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea in more serious poisonings. A life-threatening poisoning is signified by loss of consciousness, incontinence, convulsions and respiratory depression with a secondary cardiovascular component. Treat symptomatically. If exposed, plasma and red blood cell cholinesterase tests may indicate degree of exposure (baseline data are useful). Atropine, only by injection, is the preferable antidote. Oximes, such as Pralidoxime Chloride, may be therapeutic if used early; however, use only in conjunction with atropine. In cases of severe acute poisoning, use antidotes immediately after establishing an open airway and respiration. With oral exposure, the decision of whether to induce vomiting or not should be made by an attending physician.

First Aid

In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with water. If on skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If illness results from licking or chewing tags, obtain medical attention. Take container, label or product name and Pest Control Product Registration Number with you when seeking medical attention.

Directions For Use

Apply ear tag with the Allflex® Tagging System as shown when pests first appear in the spring. For optimum control use 2 tags per animal. Replace as necessary. No waiting period between treatment and slaughter. Calves less than 6 months should not be tagged. Remove tags at end of summer before slaughter.

1. WEAR CHEMICALLY RESISTANT GLOVES when applying tags. Place tag under clip by depressing lever. Raised knob must be pointing down.

2. Slide button on pin. Tag and button are now ready for application.

3. Pliers and each tag must be disinfected prior to application. Careless application of tags can lead to infection and inflammation in region of the puncture.
