Abstract
We report the presentation and management of a 25-month-old with copper sul
fate ingestion. The child suffered a gastric mucosal burn, but had no evide
nce of systemic copper toxicity and experienced full recovery with conserva
tive medical management. A literature review of copper sulfate poisoning is
provided.
