Poisoning due to drugs is influenced to a large extent by the population’s socioeconomic and cultural status.

Kerosene ingestion is one of the most common causes in these settings and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Although this problem has mostly been eliminated in the developed countries, many developing countries are still lagging behind.
