N2 - Although formic acid (FA) poisoning is rare, it is usually fatal. Many FA poisoning cases commonly involve rubber plantation workers in which these workers ingest FA accidentally or with suicidal intentions. This is a case presentation of FA poisoning by a 73-year-old man. Additionally, the patient's old age likely contributed to his severe prognosis.
