| Abstract: | The following is a case report of a 55-year-old gentleman who experienced excessive exposure to Baygon® , a local carbamate insecticide spray. He developed symptoms that were compatible with cholinesterase inhibition, namely headache, light-headedness, confusion, bad taste, nausea and fatigue. This report demonstrates that the misapplication of insecticides commonly used in residences can cause acute poisoning. |
