    No antidote is known. The lethal dose for humans is 7–10 mg. Poisoning is diagnosed by GC-MS and the treatment is mainly supportive, with large IV doses of a benzodiazepine (e.g clonazepam) and pyridoxine to control symptoms. [6] TETS is sequestered in tissues of poisoned birds and can thus pose severe risk of secondary poisoning. [citation ...
