TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Rabbit syndrome after taking herbicide containing 2-(4-chloro2-methylphenoxypropionic) acid JO - Acute medicine and surgery A1 - Kitamoto, Takeshi A1 - Kamijo, Yoshito SP - 190 EP - 191 VL - 3 IS - 2 N2 - CASE: A 48-year-old woman attempted to commit suicide by ingesting a herbicide containing 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxypropionic acid. She was transferred to the emergency center. During this time, involuntary movements of her lips at approximately 5 Hz were observed, mimicking the chewing movements of a rabbit. OUTCOME: The symptom resolved in concert with the decrease in her blood concentration of the herbicide. CONCLUSION: It was suspected that the ingestion of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxypropionic acid may have been associated with development of the rabbit syndrome.
