A case of lethal ethyl-parathion poisoning following intentional ingestion is reported. The patient presented with classical symptoms of the cholinergic hyperstimulation syndrome. Although ethyl-parathion is now prohibited in the EU, cases of this serious poisoning are still seen. The symptomatology and treatment are described.
