The most common cause of pesticide poisoning for applicators is dermal exposure, where pesticides contact the skin during mixing, application, or cleanup. TheGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 3: Pesticide Safety) highlights that skin exposure often occurs during mixing procedures or application, especially if proper protective equipment is not used. Option A (inhalation) is the second most common cause (see Question 16). Option B (oral ingestion) is less common, typically occurring through accidental ingestion or poor hygiene practices.
