These substances are neurotoxic and can cause a range of symptoms affecting the nervous system, including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, muscle weakness, and respiratory distress.

This includes situations where the patient is returning for ongoing management after initial stabilization.

• Ensure the encounter is specifically for a subsequent visit related to the poisoning, not the initial treatment.
• Verify that the exposure was accidental or unintentional, as indicated by the "A" or "D" seventh character.
• Always code the specific manifestation(s) of the toxic effect in addition to this code.
