Abstract

A 37-year-old alcoholic woman was poisoned by lead from drinking hair spray mixed with water. Laboratory and pathologic findings showed changes due to lead poisoning. Further analysis by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDXA) confirmed the presence of lead in both the tissues and the hair spray. The significance of these findings is discussed.
