Pyrethroids though commonly used as insecticide only few cases of poisoning are reported so far. This may be attributed by its lower toxicity in mammals due to its poor absorption and rapid metabolism to non-toxic products. Here we present an acute poisoning of ingestion of one bottle of Good knight refill (30 ml) by a 22 year married female of come to Emergency Department of Apollo Hospital, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Here we discuss the non-fatal case with reference to its clinical features and management along with possible circumstances of fatality in such cases in future. Finally it was concluded that pyrethroid poisoning is usually managed conservatively except the situation where there is intermixing of other insecticides and few cases where complications developed.
