Abstract

Eucalyptus oil is a commonly used over the counter home remedy for ailments like common cold and sinusitis. Although considered very safe adverse effects are infrequently reported partly due to poor awareness. We report an interesting adult patient who developed first episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizure immediately following inhalation of eucalyptus oil.

Keywords: Eucalyptus oil, Eucalyptol, Seizure.
