Diazinon is an organophosphate insecticide. Pesticides in this chemical family work by blocking an enzyme in the nervous system that acts as a stop switch for a nerve signal. If the enzyme is blocked, the nervous system can't work properly and eventually it fails. Diazinon is still used in agriculture
