The title contains the word "tree oil" and not "tea tree oil". The authors want to convey that this cocktail of commonly used tree-derived oils (tea tree, neem and pine) and kerosene can cause methemoglobinemia.

The title of this report 'Case of methaemoglobinaemia caused by tree oils and kerosene' is misleading because it appears to blame tea tree oil and/or kerosene for the symptoms reported. Apart from the 15% tea tree oil and 20% kerosene in the rat poison the product also contained 40% Neem (azadirachtin) oil and 25% pine oil. These products, which were not mentioned in the title, both contain terpenes and other potentially poisonous compounds when ingested.
