Pyrethrum, used as an insecticide for centuries, is derived from dried and ground flowers of Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium. Its current major use is in insecticide products to the control insects in the home and food handling establishments. We investigated human incidents reported through the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) Toxic Exposure Surveillance System (TESS) associated with regulated insecticides containing pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide (PY/PBO) from 2001 to 2003. Special attention was paid to dermal and respiratory effects. Although there are limitations associated with TESS data, we observed that In view of their widespread use, the data indicates that PY/PBO products can be used with a relatively low risk of adverse effects. Moreover, the data suggest that they are not likely to cause reactions in people with asthma or allergies.
除虫菊用作杀虫剂已有数百年历史，它源自干燥磨碎的白花除虫菊的花朵。其目前的主要用途是用于杀虫剂产品，以控制家庭和食品处理场所中的昆虫。我们调查了2001年至2003年期间通过美国毒物控制中心协会（AAPCC）毒物暴露监测系统（TESS）报告的与含有除虫菊酯和胡椒基丁醚（PY/PBO）的受监管杀虫剂相关的人类中毒事件。特别关注了皮肤和呼吸道影响。尽管TESS数据存在局限性，但鉴于其广泛使用，数据表明PY/PBO产品使用时产生不良反应的风险相对较低。此外，数据表明它们不太可能在哮喘或过敏患者中引起反应。
