Iron poisoning is not uncommon and is mostly caused by accidental ingestion of excessive ferrous sulfate. Infants may develop severe poisoning or even die from ingesting 40 mg to 1.5 g of ferrous sulfate; older children may die from accidentally taking 10 to 15 sugar-coated ferrous pills (0.3 g each). Iron poisoning can also be caused by eating acidic fruits cooked in iron pots. Excessive injection of iron preparations can cause severe poisoning.
