Carbamates differ toxicologically from organophoshphates in two ways:
1.They will spontaneously hydrolyse from the cholinesterase enzymatic site within 24 to 48 hours, whereas organophosphates will not
2.They do not effectively penetrate into central nervous system{CNS} and as such CNS toxicity is limited.
3.All other clinical manifestations are similar to organophosphates.

Treatment :
•Antidote: Atropine blocks the muscarinic effects.
•Cholinesterase reactivators: Pralidoxime may diminish the severity of symptoms
