Toxic effect of contact w venomous frog, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication resulting from a deliberate act of self-harm involving exposure to the venom of a frog. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, and the patient is now experiencing residual effects. These sequelae could include chronic pain, neurological deficits, organ damage, or psychological impacts directly attributable to the initial toxic exposure.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition or lasting symptom that is a direct result of a past intentional self-inflicted venomous frog exposure. This would be used in follow-up encounters after the initial acute poisoning has been treated. It is appropriate for situations where the patient is being managed for the ongoing effects rather than the immediate toxic event.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic neuropathy, kidney failure).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional venomous frog exposure.
• Do not use for acute poisoning; this code is exclusively for residual effects.
