Abstract
A case of lead poisoning is presented. The patient had recently returned to New Zealand from the Indian subcontinent. This prompted a search that identified lead contamination of ingested medicinal products that had been prescribed in India. There have been several case reports of lead toxicity due to contamination of Indian herbal medicines, though none, to our knowledge, previously reported from New Zealand.
