Ill effects of tetraethylammonium ion reported in the current literature are reviewed. Two deaths are reported which are considered to be attributable to this substance; one resulted from a myocardial infarction, the other was due to respiratory failure. Four dogs were given progressively increasing doses of tetraethylammonium ion and all ultimately died of respiratory failure.
