Abstract

A desperate man will do just about anything! and in this desperation to end his life he would take recourse to whatever means is most easily available to him. India still having a predominantly agricultural population, the most commonly used chemical for attempted suicide is Organophosphorus. A new form of insecticide called Chlorantraniliprole has been recently launched in India and soon enough we encountered a patient presenting to us with history of ingesting 1 full bottle (175ml) of the chemical. As such we would like to report the first case of self-harm using Chlorantraniliprole in this part of the world.
