Abstract

Pesticides are chemical substances used to reduce the destructive effects of living organisms such as insects, rodents, herbs and fungi that live on and around human and animal bodies and plants and that damages or decreases the nutrient level of nutrient sources during their production, storage and consumption. They may lead to fatal intoxication in their intake for suicide purposes. Imidacloprid is a new generation insecticide agent and is accepted to have a side effect potential lower than the other insecticides. In our presentation, we aimed to share the clinic evolution that appears during and after the intake of imidacloprid with suicide purpose in 3 different individuals at different places and times.
