Amitraz is 1,5 di-(2,4 dimethyl phenyl)-3-methyl-1,3,5-triazapenta-1,4-diene used as ectoparasiticide for pets. Amitraz poisoning is rare and often mimics common poisoining like Organophosphorus poisoning and opiod poisoning in its clinical presentation but requires most of time  symptomatic management and outcome is good if diagnosed early.
