Abstract

A case-report of poisoning by ingestion of a sea hare, which is thought to be the first report of human poisoning, is presented. The clinical signs were mainly neurological with tremor, psychomotor over-activity, ataxia and muscle twitching being predominant. It is suggested that organic bromine compounds are responsible for the effects.
