TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Delayed and severe toxicities of a herbicide containing glufosinate and a surfactant JO - Veterinary and human toxicology A1 - Koyama, K. A1 - Andou, Y. A1 - Saruki, K. A1 - Matsuo, H. SP - 17 EP - 18 VL - 36 IS - 1 N2 - We report a case of a 59-y-old woman who ingested a herbicide containing glufosinate. Though suffering from severe toxicity of this herbicide, she did not develop convulsions, which experimentally occurs in rats treated with glufosinate. The mechanisms of convulsions are not clear. Several clinical findings in poisoning by this herbicide are suspected to be caused by the surfactant components.
