Abstract:
Throughout Morocco, cade oil is used in folk medicine for many purposes, in particular for atopic dermatosis. It is also used as a wormer. Cade oil poisoning of newborns and infants thus often has an iatrogenic origin, resulting especially from the ingestion of a significant amount or from a prolonged and extensive cutaneous application. Thus, this oil, used for therapeutic purposes, is responsible for a non-negligible number of cases of poisoning, some fatal. We report a case of poisoning after cutaneous application of cade oil in a 2-month-old infant. The outcome was fatal. This report calls attention to the real possibility of this event and emphasizes the interest of preventing it by promoting information to families in Morocco.

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
