Malathion is an organophosphate insecticide that is toxic to humans. Deaths are related to respiratory failure. The traditional treatment has included oxygen, ventilatory support, and intravenous administration of atropine. A case is presented in which a patient with moderate to severe malathion poisoning was also treated with inhaled nebulized atropine with apparently favorable results. The rationale for this approach to therapy is discussed.
