Toxic boost: Acute, reversible neurotoxicity after ingestion of methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) mistaken for an energy drink

We present the case of a 54-year-old man who developed seizures and altered mental status after drinking 12  oz. of MMT-containing NOS Octane Booster Racing Formula. Due to label similarities, he mistook this for the NOS High Performance energy drink. The patient was intubated due to persistent seizures despite benzodiazepine treatment and admitted to the intensive care unit.
