Methyl mercaptan is a colorless gas with strong foul odor. Inhalation poisoning often causes serious damage to the nervous system and respiratory system.

After early application of sufficient glucocorticoids, extracorporeal membrance oxygenation (ECMO) replacement therapy, bronchoscopic lung lavage and active comprehensive treatment measures, the patient was successfully treated, recovered and discharged.
