近日,福建17岁男生小明(化名)帮忙给小区消杀。由于设备老化,喷壶发生渗漏,敌敌畏稀释液浸透裤子,紧紧贴在臀部和大腿后侧。

A 17-year-old boy in Fujian province, identified as Xiao Ming, was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), where doctors issued a critical condition notice after he suffered severe organophosphate poisoning caused by exposure to pesticide during a residential compound disinfection operation.

小明的腿部皮肤开始变红,起初他以为是杂草引起的“皮肤过敏”,便自行找了抗过敏药吃下。几小时后,小明双腿及臀部皮肤出现大面积灼伤、红肿,并冒出了成片的水疱。

The incident occurred when a sprayer malfunctioned because of aging equipment, allowing a diluted solution of dichlorvos — a highly toxic organophosphate pesticide — to soak through Xiao Ming's pants and remain in prolonged contact with his buttocks and the backs of his thighs. Hours later, the affected areas developed extensive burns, redness, and multiple blisters.

就医后,小明被送至ICU,医生下达了病重通知,此时小明已处于重度有机磷中毒状态,神经系统随时可能崩溃。经过ICU团队几天几夜抢救,小明生命指征恢复,度过了危险期。

By the time he arrived at the hospital, he was suffering from severe organophosphate poisoning with life-threatening damage to his nervous system. After several days of intensive care, his condition stabilized and he was eventually declared out of danger.

医生特别提醒,像敌敌畏、百草枯、敌百虫这类农药,绝非只有喝下去才致命,它们大多具备极强的皮肤渗透能力,能快速穿过皮肤屏障进入血液,而且早期往往只有轻微不适,极易被忽视,可一旦突发呼吸肌麻痹或心脏骤停,抢救窗口极短,后果不堪设想。

Doctors warn that organophosphate pesticides such as dichlorvos and trichlorfon, as well as herbicides like paraquat, are not only dangerous if swallowed but can also be readily absorbed through the skin. Early symptoms may be mild and easily overlooked, yet life-threatening complications such as respiratory failure or cardiac arrest can develop rapidly, leaving little time for emergency treatment.

眼下正值夏季,市民接触农药和除草剂的机会其实远比想象中频繁,小区灌木丛、公园草坪,常有物业或环卫人员进行蚊虫消杀和除草作业,刚喷过药的叶片和土壤表面残留浓度很高,皮肤直接触碰,甚至只是坐卧其上,都潜藏着巨大的中毒风险。

不慎接触农药或除草剂该怎么办?

医生强调,一旦接触到农药或除草剂,须迅速按照以下流程处理:

❶ 第一时间脱去被污染的衣物。

❷ 立即用流动的清水或肥皂水反复冲洗接触部位,至少持续十五到三十分钟。需要注意的是,千万不能使用热水,因为高温会加速毒物经皮吸收,务必用凉水冲洗。

❸ 无论症状轻重,都应立刻前往医院就诊,切莫抱有侥幸心理。

Medical experts advise that anyone exposed to pesticides or herbicides should remove contaminated clothing immediately and thoroughly rinse the affected skin with running water or soapy water for 15 to 30 minutes. Hot water should be avoided because it can accelerate chemical absorption; cool water is instead recommended. Even if no obvious symptoms appear, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible rather than waiting for signs of poisoning to develop.
