Pesticide poisoning
I had an empty liquid Handwash bottle. Once I mixed pesticide in it to kill some pest. After I killed the pest I forget to throw the bottle away. The next day I went to do coaching class away from home. When I came back home after 4 months, I bought a refill pack of handwash and I filled the same bottle where pesticide was there. I completely forgot about the incident. For some days I am regularly using the poison mixed hand wash before eating food. I eat food with my hands. For some days little poison/pesticide has been entering my stomach. Today  suddenly I thought about it and I threw the bottle away. Will the little amount of poison which entered my stomach damage my brain and nervous system.? I have heard that pesticide poisoning harms nervous system. Will anything happen to my brain and memory power?

Hello, It should not. The amount of pesticide left would be very minimal, antimicrobial properties of handwash, using water to clean after use, etc. would have neutralize. Moreover there should be some acute effects if ita causing harm to you. Chronic effects are seen if you are exposed for long times. Which is not in your case. So do jot worry.
