Abstract
The trend of consuming hair dyes intentionally to free their souls due to various reasons is increasing markedly especially among rural Indian population. Among them Super Vasmol-33® is a well-known emulsion-base type hair dye brand used for committing suicide. The main content in vasmol is Paraphenylenediamine (PPD). The major toxic effects of this chemicalwere found to becervicofacial edema, rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure. Quick recognition and immediate supportive therapy helps to recover completely. We report a case which highlights the toxic effects upon vasmol ingestion.
