AB Sodium  monofluoroacetate  (SMFA)  occurs  naturally  in  plants  native  to  Brazil,  Australia,  and  South  and  West  Africa  (eg,  gifblaar  {Dichapetalum  cymosum}).11  The  highest  concentration  (8.0  mg/g)  is  found  in  the  seeds  of  a  South  African  plant,  Dichapetalum  braunii.11  In  the  1940s,  SMFA  was  released  as  a  rodenticide  (CAS  No.  62-74-8)  and  assigned  the  compound  number  1080,  which  was  registered  as  its  trade  name.  Fluoroacetamide,  a  similar  pesticide,  is  known  as  Compound  1081.  These  compounds  are  widely  effective  as  poisons  against  most  mammals  and  some  amphibians.26  Both  products  were  banned  in  the  United  States  in  1972,  except  to  protect  sheep  and  cattle  from  coyotes.  Collars  embedded  with  SMFA  are  placed  around  the  neck  of  livestock,  the  typical  point  of  attack  for  coyotes.
