A majority of those deaths involve a single substance: paraquat, a pesticide widely used for weed control that is lethal to humans in amounts as small as one swallow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Pesticides are among the leading means of suicide in agricultural areas of developing nations, implicated in more than 100,000 deaths annually. Yet for years, their threat has been largely overlooked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Now, a handful of researchers and philanthropists are pushing to change that, arguing that restricting access to the most lethal pesticides could be one of the simplest, most cost-effective ways to save lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Paraquat, one of the deadliest pesticides still on the market, is among their top targets. It is quickly absorbed by the body and has no antidote. Even a small dose causes multi-organ failure, though death may take hours or days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That often leaves time for people who ingest it in a moment of despair to come to regret their decision, according to Dr. Esther Fong, an emergency physician at Suriname\u2019s busiest hospital. \u201cYou see the death written on their foreheads,\u201d she said, \u201cbut you cannot do anything about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Paramedics, police officers and teachers see paraquat\u2019s reach as inescapable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s very easy to find, and most every house has one bottle or more,\u201d said Ashna Badrising, an English instructor at the E.H. Cabell School.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last November, on the morning of Diwali, a holiday marking the triumph of light over darkness, one of her brightest students opened a bottle of the pesticide and took a swig. She died three days later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI see when someone is struggling or depressed,\u201d Ms. Badrising said. \u201cBut I never expected
