Infobox references  Bromethalin is a rodenticide which poisons
the central nervous system by uncoupling mitochondrial oxidative
phosphorylation, which causes a decrease in adenosine
triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. Decreased ATP ultimately results
in increased intracranial pressure, which damages neuronal
axons. This damage to the central nervous system can cause
paralysis, convulsions, and death.[1]  Risk of poisoning[edit]
There are no tests that will diagnose bromethalin poisoning in
pets, but signs to watch for include severe muscle tremors,
hyperexcitability, fits, extreme sensitivity to being touched
(hyperesthesia) and seizures that appear to be caused by light
or noise. Signs can be delayed for several days.  There is no
antidote for bromethalin:care is symp
