Coumachlor is a first generation anticoagulant rodenticide which blocks formation of prothrombin and inhibits blood coagulation causing death by internal haemorrhage. [1] [2] The chemical can be absorbed through the skin. [3] The symptoms of human contact can be nosebleeds, bleeding gums, bloody urine, extensive bruising in the absence of injury, fatigue, shortness of breath ( dyspnea) on exertion. The human consumption or inhalation of compound can also cause fluid in lungs ( pulmonary edema).
