Abstract
The consumption of hair dye with the purpose to commit suicide has grown among rural Indians and is related with high mortality. We describe a lady who consumed the hair dye Super vasmol 33 and had cervicofacial edema, respiratory distress, rhabdomyolysis and myocarditis. Morbidity and mortality can be avoided with early and supportive treatment.
