==Clinical signs==
Clinical signs depend on the oxidant and the time since intoxication. Mucous membranes can be pale if there is significant anaemia or cyanotic if there is methaemoglobinaemia. Anaemia and/or methaemoglobinaemia can result in tachycardia, increased respiratory rate, weakness, depression and haemoglobinuria.<ref name="CVT"></ref> Vomiting, diarrhoea and anorexia may also be seen.
==Laboratory findings==
Heinz bodies are frequently missed on routine blood films as they tend not to stain well.<ref name="CVT"></ref> However they are easily seen on slides stained with new methylene blue and reticulocytes stains.
