You are correct in that Dichlorvos is an organophosphate. The only known counteractant that I am aware of is atropine, but it would need to be given at the onset of symptoms to be very effective in alleviating any long term side-effects. Dichlorvos strip sections can be used successfully and safely to treat mite infestations on snakes, but it needs to be used under very specific guidelines or you can cause some serious problems. What size sections of dichlorvos strip are you using per cubic foot of cage volume, and how long of an exposure time are you allowing?
