SLUDDE
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-010943
An acronym representing a collection of symptoms associated with cholinergic overstimulation, typically caused by exposure to organophosphate or carbamate insecticides. The letters stand for Salivation, Lacrimation, Urination, Defecation, Dyspnea, and Emesis. These effects arise from the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, leading to an accumulation of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors.
