Abstract
Background:A common rodenticide used against small animals is rat kill poisoning. It contains at least 32 percent zinc phosphide, which is extremely harmful to people when exposed to it quickly. It can be ingested mistakenly or on purpose. It enters the body through the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and dermal pathways. A respiratory toxin called phosphonate inhibits the cytochrome C oxidase pathway, causing renal and liver failure
