Ethyl ester, chemically known as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), is a widely-used herbicide. It is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a Class II聽moderately hazardous herbicide, and its accidental or intentional ingestion can lead to multiorgan聽dysfunction and death. Overlap in presenting symptoms to other chemical poisonings makes it聽crucial to have a high clinical suspicion for this poisoning diagnosis. Herein, we present a case of an intentional overdose of聽2,4-D and highlight the clinical presentation and treatment measures used.
