What is the first step to take if someone collapses due to pesticide exposure?

In the event of a collapse due to pesticide exposure, moving the person away from the pesticides is the critical first step. This action helps to immediately eliminate any ongoing exposure to the toxic chemicals, which may be causing or exacerbating their symptoms. By removing them from the source of the pesticide, you can begin to minimize the effects of the exposure.

Once the person is in a safer environment, other steps can follow, such as checking for consciousness, calling emergency services, or seeking medical attention, depending on the person's condition. However, ensuring that they are no longer exposed to the toxic substance is paramount in preventing further harm. The priority should always be to stop the source of exposure before proceeding with other actions.
