Toxic effect: halogenated insecticides - what does this mean

Halogenated insecticides are toxic chemicals that can cause serious health effects when ingested or absorbed through the skin. these chemicals act on the nervous system, causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, muscle weakness, and difficulty breathing. in severe cases, they can cause seizures, coma, and even death. long-term exposure to these chemicals can cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and other organs.

What happens during the disease - toxic effect: halogenated insecticides

The toxic effect of halogenated insecticides is caused by the presence of halogenated hydrocarbons which are absorbed by the body and metabolized to produce reactive metabolites that can cause oxidative damage to cells and tissues. these reactive metabolites can bind to cellular proteins, lipids, and dna, leading to disruption of metabolic pathways, cellular damage, and ultimately cell death. this toxic effect can manifest in a variety of ways, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and neurological symptoms.
