摘      要：BACKGROUND: The use and abuse of designer drugs has been recognized for decades; however there are many derivatives of compounds that make their way into the community. Abuse of compound(s) known on the street as bath salt is on the rise.METHODS: We report the case of a 33-year-old man who complained of flashbacks and right arm shaking that followed a night of bath salt snorting. The active compound methylenedioxypyrovalerone methamphetamine(MDPV) was confirmed; however, analysis of three different bath salt products showed difference in their active components.RESULTS: The patient s symptoms remained stable and he was discharged home after observation in the emergency department with instructions to return for any symptom progression.CONCLUSION: Practitioners should be aware of the abuse of the compounds and that not all bath salt products contain MDPV.
