The use of seawater nasal spray is considered safe and sold as a non-prescription medicine. However, it is well known that nasal manipulations can provoke vagal reaction leading to acute life-threatening events. A case of fatal seawater nasal spray application in an infant is presented. Conclusion: We do not consider the use of seawater nasal spray to be absolutely safe,especially among infants with disordered autonomic function.
