When I practiced in the South, I would see 1-2 cases of organophosphate poisoning per year due to carelessness among crop dusters. It usually involved spilling undiluted parathion on their clothes while filling tanks. It's pretty easy to treat with atropine injection but it takes a boatload of atropine.

Have you ever treated someone for acute poisoning from glyphosate from accidental exposure? Not drinking the stuff from a suicide or homicide attempt.
