Abstract

An unusual method of introducing arsenic to water with homicidal intentions, where five members of the same family were poisoned, is reported. The obvious initial diagnosis of food poisoning or food allergy was reviewed when the story of noticing an unusual substance in the well was revealed. The patients recovered fully after conventional intramuscular dimercaprol.
