✦ Synopsis
vomiting, dizziness and muscular weakness, miosis, tachycardia, and a feeling of suffocation. Cyanosis, delirium and convulsions may occur, especially in infancy. One millilitre is sufficient to cause transient coma and 3.5 ml can be fatal. Menthol ingestion can cause severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, vertigo, ataxia, drowsiness and coma. [1] In Belgium eucalyptol and menthol are often sold in the same little bottle as NaC1 0.9%. Thus the wrong drops are often accidently instillated into the child's nose. Given the serious complications [2] we wish to point out the severe toxicity of these substances for which we think there is no place in medical therapy.
