The patients vomited and complained of abdominal pain immediately after the meal. They were unconscious with renal failure and died of cardiopulmonary arrest. The cyanide levels in the blood and urine averaged 1.12 and 0.54 mg 1-1, respectively. Cassava contains cyanogenic glycosides which slowly release cyanide and this may have been responsible for the death of these patients. There is an urgent need to establish maximum tolerable levels of cyanide in 'Gari' and other cassava food products.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/096032719201100107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,24]],"date-time":"2008-12-24T01:08:04Z","timestamp":1230080884000},"page":"47-49","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Fatal Cyanide Poisoning from Cassava-Based Meal"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Alade","family":"Akintonwa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Toxicology Unit, Department of Pharmacology and Accident and Emergency Unit, Department of Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"O.L.","family":"Tunwashe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Toxicology Unit, Department of Pharmacology and Accident and Emergency Unit, Department of Medicine, College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1992,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Manioc in Africa","author":"Jones WO","year":"1959"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"Industrialization of Gari fermentation","author":"Onyekwere OO","year":"1989"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"Anton How to Grow Cassava","year":"1981"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0031-9422(00)86154-3"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/jf60163a014"},{"key":"atypb6","unstructured":"Montgometry RP Toxic Constitutents of Plant Food Stuff, ed IE Liener pp. 143-57, New York: Academic Press."},{"key":"atypb7","unstructured":"Boudoux P., Mafuta M., Hanson A. & Erman AM Role of Cassava in the Etiology of Endemic Goitre and Cretinism, ed AM Ermans, NM Mbulamoto, F Delange & R Ahluwalis. pp. 15-27.
