Prevention of nasal air flow by temporary occlusion of the nares significantly lowered the convulsive threshold to lidocaine and pentylenetetrazol in the rat. This result indicates that olfactory stimulation is not a contributing factor in convulsions induced by local anesthetic agents such as lidocaine.
