Abstract

Accidental Pesticide poisoning is an important health issue in developing country like India. Adverse health effects by pesticides are common among farmers due inappropriate handling. Plant growth regulator hydrogen cyanamide (Dormex) is used mainly for the bud-cleaving and growth promotion of grapes in north karnataka. Accidental exposure to hydrogen cyanamide may result in wide range of health hazards like irritant contact dermatitis. Here we discuss such a case where the patient suffered severe health hazards due to accidental exposure to hydrogen cyanamide.
