Abstract The red blood cell and plasma cholinesterase (ChE) levels of cotton scouts inspecting foliage for insect infestation and damage were monitored. Group means for ChE activity were significantly depressed at one or more time(s) during four of the eight growing seasons studied. Although no symptoms of organophosphate poisoning were confirmed, several scouts exhibited ChE depressions over 50% of pre-exposure levels.
