Are you working currently working in a farm and cultivating crops? Have you used or been exposed to certain insecticides or strong chemicals? Check if you’ve experienced these while working with chemicals, especially insecticides:
□ Tremors
□ Nausea
□ Dizziness
□ Confusion
□ Facial numbness
□ Partial paralysis
□ Convulsions
□ Loss of perception and vibratory sensation
□ Moderately rapid respiration
□ Slow to normal pulse
If most of them apply, then you might be at risk of DDT exposure.

Once inside the system, DDT can break down to dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) or dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD). DDE and DDD, in turn, break down to their respective metabolites. Most DDT and its by products are stored in the fatty tissues, and their excretion is very slow. |
