Abstract

In Iranian traditional medicine, donkey dung, known as Anbar-Nesara is used for its antimicrobial and antiallergic properties. Incorrect medical beliefs can lead to the incorrect use of complementary medicine and the creation of unnecessary harmful effects. Although there have been many reports about the traditional medical benefits and the use of Anbar-Nesara, we describe a woman with severe wound infection following surgical and administration of Anbar-Nesara smoke.
