The CDC issued a new report in June this year on 97 cases of pesticide
poisoning in the food service industry involving pyrethrins and pyrethroids
(automated aerial sprays are used to control flying insects). In the
editorial note, the authors claim this is the first study to have discovered
cardiovascular and neurologic symptoms affiliated with exposure to these
pesticides, but it seems only when they are used as an aerial spray, and only
immediately after exposure. Three of the cases involved resmethrin.
