Abstract
Cow dung powder coloring agent poisoning is common in Southern Tamil Nadu. Both yellow and green varieties are common. Yellow cow dung poisoning usually produces central nervous system (CNS) and hepatic involvement as well as gastrointestinal problems. Though cardiac issues like arrhythmias are seen, toxic myocarditis and cardiac failure are not common. We present a case of a 42-year-old lady with yellow cow dung poisoning who developed toxic myocarditis and cardiac failure with complete recovery over a period of time.
