What term describes pesticide poisoning that occurs after one exposure?

The term that describes pesticide poisoning resulting from a single exposure is "acute." Acute pesticide poisoning involves immediate and severe health effects following a brief exposure to a pesticide. Symptoms of acute poisoning can appear quickly and may require urgent medical attention, making the understanding of acute effects particularly important for safety in handling and applying pesticides.

Chronic poisoning, on the other hand, results from repeated exposures over an extended period, leading to long-term health effects. Subacute would refer to conditions that arise between acute and chronic poisoning, typically presenting symptoms that do not appear immediately but are still a result of exposure to hazardous materials over a shorter time than chronic cases. Post-acute suggests effects that arise after the acute phase but does not apply to a single instance of exposure. This context highlights the specificity of the term "acute" in relation to pesticide exposure.
