Insecticide is a chemical that kills bugs. Insecticide poisoning occurs when someone swallows or breathes in this substance.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
See also:
Organophosphate poisoning; Carbamate poisoning
Most household bug sprays contain chemicals called pyrethrins. These chemicals are generally not harmful, but can cause life-threatening breathing problems if breathed in.
Industrial insecticides, often found in household garages and greenhouses, contain many dangerous substances, including:
Various insecticides (bug killers)
Symptoms of pyrethrin poisoning:
Lungs and airways:
Nervous system:
Skin :
Symptoms of organophosphate or carbamate poisoning:
Bladder and kidneys:
Eyes, ears, nose, and throat:
Gastrointestinal system:
Heart and blood:
Note: Serious poisoning can occur from just touching an organophosphate without gloves or without washing hands soon after exposure. Large amounts of the chemical soak through the skin unless you are protected. Life-threatening paralysis and death can occur very quickly.
Symptoms of paradichlorobenzene poisoning:
Note: Paradichlorobenzene mothballs are not very toxic. They have replaced the more toxic camphor and naphthalene types.
Get medical help right away. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
If the person breathed in the poison, immediately move him or her to fresh air.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor your vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. You may receive:
How well you do depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment is received. The faster you get medical help, the better the chance is for recovery.
Swallowing such poisons can have severe effects on many parts of the body.
It is a good sign that recovery will occur if the person continues to improve during the first 4 to 6 hours after medical treatment.
Although the symptoms are the same for carbamate and organophosphate poisoning, recovery is more difficult for organophosphate poisoning.

Regan Smith tops the speed chart in the Happy Hour practice session for the Nationwide Series Kentucky Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway.
BK Racing continues to add to its driver roster, announcing Thursday that Matt DiBenedetto has joined the team and will compete part-time in the Sprint Cup Series this season.
Jeff Gordon posted the fastest single lap in the afternoon test session at Atlanta. His top speed was 188.424 mph, which was posted early in his run. Gordon also posted the quickest 10-lap average in that session with a speed of 185.458 mph during his first 10 laps around the track.
Kevin Harvick posted the quickest 10-lap average in the Thursday morning test session at Atlanta. He recorded a speed of 183.342 mph from his ninth through 18th laps.
Jamie McMurray posted the fastest single lap in Thursday morning's test at Atlanta. His top speed was 191.549 mph, which was more than 1.3 mphs faster than teammate Kyle Larson who was second in that session.
Casey Mears earned eight results in the 20s during last year's 10 races on similarly-configured, 1.5-mile tracks. The only time he failed to finish in that range was during the last two races; he was 31st at Charlotte and 18th at Texas.
When David Ragan takes the green flag at Atlanta in the Folds of Honor Quik Trip 500, he will be in the best equipment of his career since leaving Roush-Fenway Racing; in fact, with Joe Gibbs on the rise, it could be the best he has ever run.
The No. 20 and No. 29 teams that competes in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series have been penalized for rules infraction discovered during post-race inspection Feb. 20 at Daytona International Speedway.
According to Front Row Motorsports' TWITTER feed, "Happy to have Joe Nemechek on board this weekend, driving the #34 @CSX #PlayItSafe Ford at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Ron Hornaday Jr. may have only recently returned to the Cup series, but he has been in stock cars and trucks for a long time. If he qualifies for this week's Folds of Honor Quik Trip 500 it will be his 136th start on a similarly-configured, 1.5-mile track.
Landon Cassill was occasionally a good value on similarly-configured, 1.5-mile tracks last year, but he could also be uneven. He failed to qualify in his first attempt at Las Vegas and then had results ranging from 21st to 43rd in the next nine races.

Ed Wohl Bird's Eye Maple Handled Cutting Board
- Summary
We love this exquisitely crafted wooden board, which can be used as a functional cutting surface as well as an elegant presentation piece. It's hand made by Edward Wohl, an award-winning Wisconsin artist who carefully fashions each board by joining sections from a single piece of bird's-eye maple.
- As practical as it is beautiful, this handcrafted board is durable enough for everyday food prep, yet gentle on knives edges.
- Doubles as a serving piece for cheeses, cured meats, appetizers and more.
- Each board is crafted by joining sections from a single piece of specially selected, bird's-eye maple, so the wood tone and grain are consistent throughout.
- The wood is precision-shaped and hand-beveled for graceful shape and balance, then hand-sanded and finished to create a perfectly smooth surface.
- Bird's-eye maple is an exotic hardwood, found in only one of every 500 maple trees.
- Dimensions & More Info
- 13 1/2" x 11 3/4".
- 1/2" thick.
- 3 lb.
- Made in USA.
- Use & Care
- Hand-wash with hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
- Do not soak or submerge board in water.
- Occasionally rub with a food-safe mineral oil to keep wood from drying out.
- To sanitize, wash the board with a solution of one part vinegar to five parts water.
- Remove odors by rubbing the board with kosher or table salt and half a lemon. Let sit for 2 to 3 minutes then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Remove excess moisture with a clean paper towel and stand the board on end to air dry.
- Store in a dry area away from extreme temperatures.

Great Quality Rug March 28, 2014"Very nice rug as described. It is soft and visually appealing and goes nicely in our living room. The natural wool cleanses the air making it smell fresh and clean. I could not have found a better rug for the great price."
Nice Feel January 23, 2014
"I purchased this rug several weeks ago to go under my king size bed. We had to take the whole bed down to get it under there. After a day of having it down the smell coming from the rug was horrible. A cross between vinegar and dog poo. I contacted the company they suggested I put down baking soda and leave it for a while then vacuum. The smell isn't quite as strong but it is still there. If it weren't so difficult to take the bed down I would remove it from my bedroom."
Yes, recommended to a friend.
Another great rug! May 07, 2013"Every area rug in our home has come from Natural Area Rugs. The products are fantastic and have managed to continue to look beautiful in spite of the many dogs and 2 cats that share our home with us. The products look even better than the great pictures and the descriptions are always accurate. Every business should be this good!"
Yes, recommended to a friend.
Service was great! October 10, 2012"I really appreciate the service. The rug is really great and perfect for my room. Thanks!"

If you need to carry a lot of fuel, this mount and the 3 liter fuel canister is a good answer with this caveat. "Use the straps precisely as shown, round any sharp metal edges with a small file, a jewelers file works great. I also went to my local hardware store and bought a foot of 1/4" vinyl tubing cut it to fit the slots, split it length wise and put it in the slot. The folks at Touratech in Seattle also told me that in hot weather, those canisters expand, so tighten those canisters, just enough to allow for some expansion

How ya been? I'm gonna keep my promise to visit the museum one day.
blackvault wrote:Well, Stieven, I appreciate you coming here and giving us your update.
I know you may not feel like you want to come back, and that's ok! I invited you back so you saw the changes here, and so you'd find some old friends you haven't talked to in a while.
I, too, hope you stay. Things do happen for a reason. But if not, I wish you all the best You're always welcome here!
I will say this. Boards like this that have a special feel to them, surrounded by friends (and friendly debaters alike) is sometimes what we need. We can wake up and check our messages from half a globe away, or peer into the thoughts and minds of another country we've never visited.
It may sound cheesy, but it's powerful.
That said, I remember when you first started coming here. You're one of the few who have a special story, and may not realize it. I was just talking about you the other day to a good buddy of mine on the phone. I said this kid started coming to the site YEARS ago, and barely spoke english. But he posted for years, and even reading your post above, it's indicative of how much you've learned to communicate in English.
Now, maybe, The Black Vault isn't 100% responsible, but it's fun to have watch your growth communicating here from that kid many moons ago, to now an adult speaking better English than me!
You take care of yourself. Like I said, you're always welcome, and it is good to have you back -- even for a minute.
Your friend,
John Greenewald, Jr.

About the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Over 100 years of history!
Special Offers
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) is the product-evaluation laboratory of the magazine, with a staff of scientists, engineers, nutritionists, and researchers dedicated to evaluating and testing everything from moisturizers to bed sheets to cell phones. Also part of GHRI is the test kitchen, which creates, tastes, and triple-tests (at least) the thousands of recipes appearing annually in the magazine and on goodhousekeeping.com.
The Institute was founded in 1900 to improve the lives of consumers and their families through education and product evaluation. It has departments specializing in consumer electronics and engineering, to test appliances like flat-screen TVs and refrigerators; health, beauty, and environmental sciences for beauty and hair-care products; textiles, paper, and plastics, which analyzes fiber-based products like sweaters, suitcases, and backpacks; and the editorial test kitchens to assess foods' nutrition claims and create low-cost, family-friendly meal solutions. Results from GHRIs product evaluations are published in each issue of Good Housekeeping under the rubric The Test and on the Product Reviews channel on goodhousekeeping.com.
Before Good Housekeeping accepts any advertisement from a company, GHRI reviews its products. Only those that pass the rigorous evaluation are allowed to buy advertising space in the magazine and become eligible for the Good Housekeeping Seal, which involves an even more rigorous evaluation.
The Seal has been reassuring consumers about their product-purchasing decisions for almost 100 years, and is one of the most recognized consumer emblems in the market today. When you see a product with the Good Housekeeping Seal, you can rest assured that Good Housekeeping stands behind that product, so much so that if you find a Seal-bearing product is defective within two years of purchase, it's Good Housekeeping who will refund the price paid for the product or replace it.
Find out how products are evaluated in the Good Housekeeping Research Institute laboratories by watching our behind-the-scenes product testing videos.

"Journalists are coping with the rising information flood by borrowing data visualization techniques from computer scientists, researchers and artists. Some newsrooms are already beginning to retool their staffs and systems to prepare for a future in which data becomes a medium. But how do we communicate with data, how can traditional narratives be fused with sophisticated, interactive information displays?"
Geoff McGhee, an online journalist specializing in multimedia and information graphics, was awarded a 2009-2010 John S. Knight Journalism Fellowship at Stanford University to study data visualization. As one result, Geoff has created a trove of well-annotated video reports detailing the contemporary state of data visualization as a storytelling medium.
Seven well-edited video segments — complete with interviews with leading practitioners in the field, related websites, and further reading — address these key points:
• The explosion of data has brought a complementary need for tools to analyze it
• Researchers in visualization are helping by building tools for non-experts
• Journalists are finding ways to adapt to the challenge of telling stories with data
• With experience in charting data, infographics designers are well suited to bring data visualization to journalism, but they debate how effective it is at explaining concepts
• In a wired world, data is increasingly becoming a medium of personal expression
• Data will increasingly arrive in real time, challenging our ability to absorb, analyze and display it
• Technologies for creating online visualizations are in transition, but there are new tools coming out that will make the process easier
• Data analysis is at least as important as visually displaying it; there are tools that help with this process

Setting them down, one by one
Published on -6/20/2013, 9:33 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
I decided to be patriotic on Memorial Day, so ate a piece of apple pie and attended a baseball game.
Taking yourself out to the ball game is more expensive than it once was. My daughter and son-in-law, Michelle and Peter Doherty, took me to the state-of-the-art stadium where the Washington Nationals play baseball, and we watched them lose to the Baltimore Orioles.
We were ushered into this shiny new facility while the teams were hitting batting-practice fly balls. The parking cost $42, and the seats were $67 each -- but at least a smiling attendant dusted off the seats before we sat down.
We paid $10 for hamburgers and $10 for peanuts and $4.75 for soft drinks. Some fellows behind us were handing over $10 apiece for the beers they obviously enjoyed.
This all-American outing cost the three of us more than $300, and that doesn't even include gasoline for the car. I don't know how the average family can afford this, but the stadium was full. Oh yes, I spent an additional $22 for my handsome Nationals baseball cap.
Back in the old days, when I pitched for the Downs town team, the caps and uniforms were free to the players and the admission to our games was 50 cents. We attracted 200 to 300 fans -- but that was before TV and air conditioners lured most of the fans indoors.
Almost every town boasted a baseball team in those post-World War II days. We played teams from Harlan, Portis and Ionia (which was the smallest town I ever saw but fielded one of the best teams in the country). We also played Cawker City and Glen Elder and Osborne, along with Lebanon and Smith Center and Stockton and Mankato, plus the Nebraska towns of Red Cloud and Guide Rock.
Occasionally, a local team played an exhibition with the barnstorming Kansas City Monarchs. This fabulous black team never played in Downs, but I once watched their legendary Satchel Paige pitch one inning at Franklin, Neb. Old Satch called all of the fielders but one to the bench and proceeded to strike out the side.
While the Downs team didn't face the Monarchs, we put together a Northern Kansas League all-star team that met the House of David barnstormers. That team was made up of professional ball players, and I can't say much about them except that they all wore beards, which was quite unusual at the time.
Then, one summer night, our Downs team whipped a neighboring town about 20-0 and made that town's baseball fanatics really mad. So, they hired five semi-pros from a western Kansas oil field team (or so we were told), and these guys showed up at the Downs Celebration tournament with blood in their eyes.
The visiting pitcher strutted around the grandstand before the game and bet several local sports fans Downs wouldn't have five hits in the nine-inning contest. I was especially tickled when I lined a double for our fifth hit which lost all of those bets for him.
Mostly, we played for the fun and exercise and any small bit of glory that we could manage to attract. We usually played on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays and won quite a few victories, because we were the only outfit in that part of the state that had three decent pitchers.
Everyone played for blood in those days, and the sportsmanship left something to be desired. One Sunday afternoon, when we should have been contemplating the Golden Rule, we irritated a neighboring town's baseball fans. Whatever the cause, a crowd of men rushed out of the grandstand and was bearing down on the baseball diamond where we stood.
That's when a usually mild-mannered fellow on the Downs team grabbed a baseball bat and waved it in defiance. A few other Downs players also grabbed baseball bats and waved them. That is the exact point in time when those fans halted, ruminated about the matter, and decided they weren't mad after all. They went back and sat down.
I could reflect on other examples of sportsmanship, but won't do it to protect the guilty. But please don't think that such behavior was common because most of these players were our friends in later years. They were just overly enthusiastic.
In retrospect, those were grand events (pieces of Americana) that should be chronicled with due respect. I do recall that, whenever I met a teammate or former enemy in later years, we always had something to discuss. What startled me the most was how much better we all became as our athletic feats were told and retold.
Darrel Miller lives near Downs in rural Osborne County and is a retired weekly newspaper editor.
