Abstract
The skin manifestations associated with boric acid intoxication are particularly striking. We present a case report of a 44-year-old black woman who, following a suicide attempt, demonstrated the classic features of acute boric acid poisoning.

A discussion of the history of the use of boric acid by the medical profession follows the patient presentation.
