“…Other authors suggested the use of intralipid emulsion to neutralize the dissolved circulating phosphine [ 14 ]. Moreover, in cases of severe hemodynamic collapse not responding to usual or novel approaches, recourse to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or intra-aortic balloon pump is increasingly reported [ 15 , 16 ].…”

“…Other articles spoke favorably about other antidotes, including triiodothyronine, acetyl-L-carnitine, glutathione, liothyronine, milrinone, Laurus nobilis L, vasopressin, sodium selenite, sulfate, N-acetylcysteine, 6-aminonicotinamide, boric acid, melatonin, vitamins C and E [10], selegiline [11], and whole blood transfusion [12]. Other articles reviewed the roles of digoxin [13], extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation [14], aortic balloon [15], and prophylactic amiodarone for symptomatic improvement in cardiac function [16]. In another article, the authors discussed the protective role of G6PD deficiency in wheat pill poisoning [17].…”

Wheat pill and its active ingredient aluminum phosphide is one of the emerging causes of poisoning. The areas mainly hit are the ones where agriculture is the leading industry. The mechanism of action involves phosphine gas, which is released when the pill comes in contact with moisture or stomach acid; the resulting free radicals damage mitochondria. The cardiovascular system is the most severely hit with various presentations, including cardiac failure, arrhythmias, and eventually shock. We discuss a case of a middle-aged woman who suffered from inhalational poisoning from wheat pill while she was working in unventilated grain storage.
