Medical outcomes of bromethalin rodenticide exposures reported to US poison centers after federal restriction of anticoagulants

Background: Exposures to bromethalin rodenticides have increased since restrictions were placed on long acting anticoagulant rodenticide (LAAR) registrations in 2008. Bromethalin works, in part, by uncoupling mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Toxicity in humans is not well characterized and no antidote is available. Methods: This retrospective observational study analyzed data from the National Poison Data System (NPDS). The data set was...
