==Toxicity ==
Diazinon is toxic by inhalation, ingestion and skin adsorption. Because it is an [[acetylcholinesterase]] inhibitor, intoxication is similar to exposure to nerve agents.  Long term use of the product, especially among commercial gardeners, can lead to permenant nerve damage.  In some cases of exposure, [[atropine]] may be indicated.
