Abstract

Ethylene dibromide (EDB) is commonly available as a liquid pesticide for use as fumigant and preservative for storage of cereals and grains in India. Accidental or suicidal ingestion is often associated with often fatal delayed sudden hepatic or renal failure. We report 2 cases of EDB poisoning in humans.
