Abstract

Four patients developed severe burning feet after ingestion of the rodenticide RH-787 (Vaccor-B) attempting suicide. Parenteral administration of vitamin-B-complex relieved the symptom in all patients. Based on the results of these four patients and other data in the literature, vitamin-B-deficiency is discussed as a possible cause of burning feet.
