What is a common symptom of pesticide poisoning?

Hunger
Numbness
Dry mouth
Clammy skin

The correct answer is: Clammy skin

Clammy skin is a common symptom of pesticide poisoning because exposure to certain pesticides can disrupt the nervous system, leading to a range of physiological responses. Pesticide exposure often affects the body's ability to regulate temperature and perspiration, causing the skin to feel damp or clammy rather than dry. This symptom is often coupled with other signs of poisoning, such as nausea, muscle twitching, or respiratory issues, as the chemicals interfere with normal bodily functions. Recognizing clammy skin as a symptom is essential for identifying potential pesticide poisoning, allowing for prompt treatment and intervention to minimize health risks.
