Abstract
Abamectin is a commonly used insecticide and anthelmintic. Human intoxication is uncommon but potentially fatal. We present the case of a 50-year-old man who developed hypotension, respiratory paralysis with aspiration, and myoclonus following self-ingestion of abamectin under alcohol influence. With supportive treatment, he completely recovered.
