2,4-D amine is the commonly used herbicide along with the most poorly, understudied compound in the form of its toxic effects in humans. We hereby present a case of suicidal attempt by a male patient involving the ingestion of 2,4-D who presented with generalized hypotonia 1 hr after the ingestion of the compound. The patient was brought in a semiconscious, hyporeflexic state with signs of raised intracranial pressure. After proper treatment in the form of diuresis and other symptomatic care, he recovered fully with no residual neurodeficit.Keywords
