Fenamiphos is an organophosphate cholinesterase inhibitor used as an insecticide. [2] [3]
Fenamiphos is an organophosphate nematicide used to control a wide variety of nematode (roundworm) pests.
This is a highly toxic chemical. It can be absorbed through the unbroken skin and is a cholinesterase inhibitor with effects typical of such compounds. Acute exposure to fenamiphos may produce the following signs and symptoms: pinpoint pupils, blurred vision, headaches, dizziness, muscle spasm, and profound weakness.
