Objective: Characterize and analyze carbamate ("Chumbinho") poisoning in men. Methods: Multiple case study using non-participant observation, conducted in five men treated at an emergency service. Data analyzed by means of thematic analysis, using the software Atlas.ti version 6.2. Results: The age range varied between 28 and 52 years. Self-ingestion was predominant. All men were unemployed. Three were single. All men arrived dirty, defecated, urinated, spitted, vomited and with food waste on their body. They needed oral and bodily hygiene care, exchange of dirty clothes for clean and dry ones and body warming. Conclusion: This study supports the principles of PNAISH by identifying that the male population only accesses the health system through specialized care. All cases of poisoning were through the oral route. Limitations included the impossibility to cover all poisoning cases and the fact that the victims visited the emergency upon spontaneous demand.
