If a high enough concentration of nicotine is consumed in any way or absorbed though the skin, it is potentially fatal. Acute poisoning can result from skin contamination or inhalation of tobacco smoke, depending on the doses. Patient may progress through prostration, convulsions, bradycardia, arrhythmia and finally coma. Death may occur within 5 min to 4 hours.The fatal dose of pure nicotine is approximately 40-60 mg,In children the lethal dose is considered to be about 10 mg of nicotine. Nicotine naive patients ( non- smokers) would get symptoms of nicotine overdose very quickly if they put a patch on. Theoretically 3 x 15mg patches worth of nicotine administered at once could be fatal.
