Several reports of cases of methyl bromide poisoning are re- 
viewed. Experiments arc described in which mice wore exposed to 
the vapors. A concentration of 0.001 mole per liter caused death 
in 75 minutes, and 0.000017 to 0.000136 mole per liter killed the 
mice within a few hours. In the narcosis the mice often reacted 
to strong tactile irritation (pinching); sporadically increased 
reflex excitability and indications of convulsions also occurred. 
A concentration of 0.000008 mole per liter in the course of many 
hours caused deep narcosis, which, however, was followed by rapid 
and lasting recovery.

Methyl bromide is effective in the control of rodents as well 
as the insects harbored by them. It can be used in wet or dry soils 
and at various temperatures. Although the cost is high, it can be 
used where follow-up or eradication methods arc being carried on 
and around buildings where there is danger in using treated grain 
baits. It should be used only under proper supervision even by 
official agencies having a trained personnel, and should not be 
made available for general use until further safeguards have been 
developed.

The toxicity of methyl bromide is briefly reviewed. Experi- 
ments with rabbits and dogs are described. A concentration o^ 36 
mg. per liter for 25 minutes was fatal to a rabbit. Dogs died 
after exposure to 10 to 21 mg. per liter for 30 to 33 minutes.
