title: Management of pyrethroid exposure.
abstract: Severe pyrethroid insecticide poisoning is uncommon in the developed world, but more common in developing countries because of its wide use in agriculture. This short review proposes a management strategy for pyrethroid poisoning based on the present literature. It also mentions an experimental approach, which will require further study in animals and may have eventual relevance for man.
