A child swallowed an antiseptic for coronavirus - what to do before the ambulance arrives

Poisoning is one of the most severe and dangerous emergency conditions, which often require competent emergency care. And it is on its quality that the subsequent health and even the life of the injured baby may depend in the future. Such incidents become especially dangerous in young children and adolescents.

Typically, poisonings occur as accidents, although there may also be intentional harm to the body (suicide attempts). It is important to know how to provide assistance to victims in various situations in order to minimize possible consequences.

Most poisonings occur due to the negligence of parents and due to the curiosity and activity of children. Typically, children are characterized by:

poisoning with various household and plant poisons;
poisoning with household chemicals;
drug poisoning;
food poisoning.

Of course, you should take care of the safety of children in advance and remove all dangerous liquids and substances away.

But if a disaster has already occurred and you suspect that the child has taken a toxic substance, you need to call an ambulance and provide proper first aid!

First aid for rat poisoning

You can reduce the risk of painful consequences if first aid for rat poisoning is provided correctly.
At the initial appearance of signs of intoxication, it is necessary to rinse the stomach to remove all remaining granules and reduce the impact on the digestive system. The solution is prepared from warm water with the addition of a spoonful of salt and several crystals of potassium permanganate. Repeat washing until completely clean. If a child has eaten rat poison, the stomach is washed with warm water without additives and a cleansing enema is given. The baby should definitely be given adsorbent based on body weight and age:

Activated carbon;
Polyphepan;
Sorbex.

When poisoned by rat poison, signs of damage may appear 12-72 hours after the toxin enters the body. It all depends on the concentration of harmful substances and the state of human health. The main symptoms of poisoning are:

loss of appetite;
nausea;
abdominal pain;
vomit;
diarrhea;
weakness in the body;
pale skin;
headache.

In very severe cases of poisoning with anticoagulants, bleeding from the nose, gums, the appearance of bloody traces in the stool, and red spots on the skin and mucous membranes may occur.

If a toxic substance has been accidentally swallowed, it is necessary to immediately take first aid measures:

induce a gag reflex by inserting 2 fingers deep into the mouth and pressing on the root of the tongue;
drink at least 3 liters of clean water;
take a saline laxative;
drink 4 tablets of activated carbon.

If the poison gets on the skin, the affected area should be thoroughly washed with warm water and soap. The mucous membrane is washed with plenty of water. If the poisoning is severe, you should urgently seek medical help. To treat poisoning with anticoagulants, vitamin K1 is used, which neutralizes the effect of the toxin. In very severe poisoning, a blood transfusion is given.

If an adult or child has swallowed rat poison, it is necessary to urgently call an ambulance and immediately take measures to eliminate the toxin from the organ.

The first thing to do is call an ambulance, and only then should you begin providing first aid.

In case of poisoning, it is necessary to perform gastric lavage as soon as possible. This procedure allows you to remove part of the toxic substance from the body to prevent its further absorption and thereby reduce the severity of hemorrhagic syndrome. To lavage the stomach, the victim is given 0.5–1.5 liters of warm water to drink, after which, irritating the root of the tongue, they induce vomiting. The stomach should be rinsed at least 2-3 times until the rinsing water becomes clean, free of food particles.

To inactivate the poison that has managed to penetrate the small intestine, you should take any drug with absorbent action, for example Activated carbon. The dosage depends on the person’s body weight and is 1 tablet. for every 10 kg. Before use, activated carbon should be crushed into powder and mixed with half a glass of water.

Urgent Care

Food, poisonous plants and mushrooms, medications that cause poisoning require gastric lavage (except for chemical poisoning) with 200 ml of warm salt water and inducing vomiting.
Give an absorbent medicine.
Replenish lost fluids using a solution of Regidron, Oralit and others.

Recipe prepared at home: add salt, a little more than half a teaspoon, 2.5 tablespoons of sugar to a tea glass of boiled water and mix with a glass of fresh orange juice.

Children are given raisin compote, a decoction of carrots, rice, and still mineral water, alternating with salt water. 5-year-olds can drink infusions of chamomile, rose hips, and green teas. You need to drink very often, 3-4 small spoons.

With high fever, severe vomiting and diarrhea, in case of poisoning with poison and drugs, an urgent call for emergency medical help is required.
Make the child comfortable and constantly monitor him.
Try to find out the cause of poisoning - by questioning and examination or by symptoms.
You can neutralize the effect of alkali and acid with vegetable oil. 1 teaspoon at 1-3 years old, at 4-7 years old - a dessert spoon, from 8 years old - a tablespoon in small sips.
A person who has been poisoned through the skin should be completely washed in warm water using a soap solution.
Protect yourself so that you have someone to take care of your child.

It is forbidden:

treat yourself, especially with antibiotics;
give Imodium (Loperamide) tablets and antiemetics, since vomiting is the body’s defense;
soothe pain symptoms with painkillers;
warm with a heating pad, which accelerates inflammation, or cool.

Signs of poison intoxication

The characteristic symptoms that occur in a dog after poisoning largely depend on the type of poison.

Bleeding dog gums due to poisoning

In a puppy, even small dosages can cause the rapid onset of symptoms of severe intoxication. While in adult dogs the manifestations are often delayed. If a dog is poisoned by rat poison based on rodenticides, the following disorders may occur:

profuse bleeding from the nose, gums and anus;
blood in urine;
sneezing and coughing with pinkish foam;
complete refusal of the animal to eat;
increased body temperature;
decreased activity;
dyspnea;
partial or complete paralysis;
tongue hanging out;
redness of the whites of the eyes.

Inducing vomiting if the dog has rodenticide poisoning is useless, since anticoagulants quickly penetrate the bloodstream. Vomiting can provoke extensive bleeding from the stomach and lead to the pet quickly choking on hemorrhagic secretions.

When ratsid enters the body, it provokes other symptoms. The animal has:

urinary retention;
weak pulse;
severe vomiting;
dyspnea;
labored breathing.

In this case, the pet rapidly develops signs of renal, pulmonary and heart failure. The outcome of poisoning is extremely difficult to predict. If a dog is poisoned with rodent poisons based on zinc derivatives, the pet may experience:

decreased appetite;
strong thirst;
vomit;
diarrhea;
general weakness;
incoordination of movements;
convulsions;
disturbances of consciousness.

In severe cases of poisoning, after the appearance of the first characteristic symptoms, loss of consciousness and the development of multiple organ failure are observed.

How to recognize poisoning?

If acetone poisoning occurs in a child of at least kindergarten age, he can explain what he drank and why his stomach hurts. But very young, curious researchers cannot clearly express their thoughts.

To avoid possible sad consequences, parents should remove dangerous products away. Older children need to be clearly explained how harmful they are and what their careless use can lead to.

Since in children acetone is absorbed into the blood and transferred to tissues and organs much faster than in adults, all pre-medical measures must be carried out much faster. This happens due to the fact that the heartbeat in children is rapid, and blood enters the organs faster. Children also have an intense metabolism. If you delay in calling an ambulance and providing emergency assistance on your own, the consequences can be serious. Moreover, this does not even depend on the dosage.

Parents whose child drank acetone can determine intoxication if in doubt by the following signs:

unsteady gait
dizziness,
lethargy,
dyspnea,
mucosal damage,
drowsiness.

When you exhale, you will smell a strong smell of acetone, which is considered the clearest signal of poisoning. After detecting such a symptom in your son or daughter, you should immediately call an ambulance.

A decrease in activity and pronounced weakness indicate that the baby’s heart rate has dropped sharply. In this case, emergency medical attention is required.

The best products and forms of release

There are many types of rat poison available in different forms, some of which smell attractive, while others do not emit any odor. Which poison to choose in each specific case depends on the type of rodent and the number of individuals.

Soft briquettes. This poison is released in the form of a kind of plasticine. The taste and consistency are similar to meat. Suitable for rats, since small rodents prefer grains, sweets and cereals. The poison in the briquette is painted bright green or blue, which attracts this type of animal. The most popular remedy is Storm.
Pellets and solid granules. Available in bright colors - pink, green and blue. They look like dry food for dogs and cats. They are attractive to ordinary mice. Pressed tablets are a type of granules, and they are more convenient to use, since they can be placed even on hard-to-reach areas.
Grain coated with poison. This drug has the taste and form of grain crops, so mice eat the poison with special pleasure, unaware of the danger. The active component does not act immediately, so it takes some time for the death of the rodent. One of the effective drugs is Zookoumarin Neo.
Poison in liquid form. Mice and rats cannot survive without water. Therefore, bait with poisonous liquid is especially effective if there are no more drinking vessels in the room. It is also possible to spray the room with a product such as Fumiphos.
Gel-like poison. The poison in this form smells pleasant and does not lose its properties for a long time even with temperature fluctuations and exposure to sunlight. Therefore, rodents willingly eat bait even if there are food supplies nearby.
Powder. This drug is used to make baits. The product is mixed with products such as sugar, flour, grain, etc. If the poison enters the stomach, poisoning occurs. It is considered one of the most harmless and ineffective means.

Causes of intoxication

Several years ago, the most popular drugs were those containing high levels of arsenic and strychnine. When deposited on the skin or mucous membranes, they provoked unpleasant consequences. For home use, manufacturers produce rat poison in granules, which prevents accidental inhalation of the powder. The latest generation of rodenticides have a standardized dosage, calculated for the weight of the rodent and does not threaten the health of the user.

Human poisoning by rat poison can occur in several situations:

intentional use of a dangerous substance for the purpose of committing suicide or crime,
children's attempts to taste bright granules,
storing mouse poison with food,
violation of safety rules when treating premises from rats,
absorption of toxic substances through the skin during prolonged work with them during the manufacture of bait.

If you follow the instructions, it is almost impossible to get poisoned by a dangerous compound. If you accidentally eat rat poison in a volume of 1-2 granules, the liver will cope with the toxins, be able to process them and excrete them in the urine without any health consequences.

The safest household products are those with a cumulative effect, which are neutralized in minimal quantities. But with chronic hepatitis and weak immunity, the cleansing process may not be effective enough, and severe poisoning occurs.

Prevention of poisoning

Compliance with safety precautions when treating premises from rodents
Prevention of intoxication with drugs intended to eliminate mice consists of observing safety precautions when treating premises and following the instructions for the drug. Toxic substances should be stored out of the reach of children.

The use of hazardous chemicals in residential areas is not recommended. To do this, nowadays it is possible to purchase moderately safe means for eliminating mice.

When working with mouse poison, you should use gloves, a change of clothes, and a respirator to protect yourself. After contact with toxic substances, you must wash your hands thoroughly.

To avoid poisoning, a reasonable solution to exterminating pests would be not to use rat poison yourself, but to seek help from people who specialize in eliminating them.

Definition

Food poisoning is also called acute infectious-toxic lesions that occur when consuming poor-quality foods, water or toxic substances. Among all infectious diseases, these occupy first place and are considered a serious problem.

Moreover, even when the same thing is eaten, a child can get sick, but nothing will happen to an adult. The child's body has its own characteristics:

low acidity gastric juice,
intestinal microflora has not completed its formation,
the poison is absorbed and spreads faster,
low ability to neutralize toxins by the liver and filter them by the kidneys,
dehydration is worse.

Food poisoning can be caused by dangerous berries, plants, their seeds, and mushrooms; toxic substances contained in spoiled or contaminated food.

Prevention

To avoid arsenic poisoning, you should follow some rules:

When working at chemical plants, including those with arsenic, safety precautions must be observed;
If your health worsens, it is advisable to refuse such work;
Do not drink water from unverified sources;
You should not keep products that contain arsenic in your home. If necessary, the packaging should be clearly marked so that it is not accidentally confused with anything else. These medications should be kept out of the reach of children and pets.

Arsenic poisoning causes great harm to health. In case of accidental ingestion, you must immediately consult a doctor, since it is unknown what dose the substance was in. To protect yourself from accidental poisoning, you must adhere to preventive measures that will help avoid this as much as possible. Food and water also need to be tested. Suspicious foods should not be consumed.

Ingested toxic substance

First of all, take the toxic substance away from the child. If some of the substance is still in his mouth, make him spit it out or try to clean his mouth with your fingers. Save the container that contained the substance along with any other evidence that may help determine what the child ingested. After this, check to see if your child has the following symptoms:

severe sore throat;
profuse drooling;
difficulty breathing;
convulsions;
severe lethargy and drowsiness.

If you notice any of these symptoms, or if your child is unconscious or has stopped breathing, immediately begin first aid and call an ambulance. Be sure to take with you the container that contained the toxic substance and the remains of the substance - this will help doctors determine what exactly the child swallowed. Do not try to make your child vomit, as this may cause more harm, and do not try to follow label instructions on what to do in case of poisoning - this information is often out of date or inaccurate. If you do not notice any serious symptoms in your child, call the poison hotline and your call will be transferred to your local poison control center. (Russia does not have a centralized system of poison control centers.) When calling for help, the telephone operator who will talk to you will need the following information:

your name and telephone number;
your child's name, age and weight. In addition, be sure to tell him about all the serious diseases that your child has and the medications he is taking;
the name of the poisonous substance your child ingested. Read its name on the container label, and if necessary, dictate the spelling of the name. If the label indicates the components that make up the substance, be sure to name them. If your child has swallowed a doctor-prescribed medication that does not have a name on it, tell the operator the name and number of the clinic where the medication was prescribed, the doctor's phone number, the date of prescription, and the drug number on the label. Try to describe in as much detail as possible what the tablet or capsule looks like, and be sure to report all the letters and numbers printed on it. If your child ingested another substance, such as a part of a plant, try to provide as much detail as possible to help identify the type of plant;
the exact time the child ingested the toxic substance (or when you discovered it), and the amount of the substance you think he may have ingested.

If the substance is extremely dangerous, or if your child's age requires it, a specialist may require you to take your child to the hospital immediately to evaluate his condition. Otherwise, you will be given instructions on what to do at home. Vomiting can be dangerous, so never try to force it on your child. Strong acids (such as toilet cleaners) or strong alkalis (lye solution, drain or oven cleaners, dishwasher cleaners) can burn your throat, and vomiting will only make the situation worse. Previously, vomiting in a child was induced using ipecac syrup (“emetic root”). Although this may seem to make sense at first glance, this drug is actually no longer used as a treatment for poisoning. If you still have ipecac syrup in the house, pour it down the toilet and throw away the medicine container. Do not try to make your child vomit by any means, be it ipecac syrup, gagging, or infusion of salt water. Doctors may recommend that you give your child milk or water to drink instead.

Clinical picture

Signs of arsenic poisoning in humans are quite varied. Poisoning develops quite quickly and within 30 minutes if a large dose is ingested by any route, the symptoms will be pronounced. In such a short period of time, symptoms increase quite quickly, provided that the person has an empty stomach. In most such cases, everything ends in death, since in the absence of food the mucous membrane quickly absorbs toxins into the blood. Symptoms of arsenic poisoning will vary from person to person.

If arsenic was consumed in food, symptoms appear after a few hours. The following symptoms are observed in case of arsenic poisoning:

Headache.
Signs of intoxication (weakness, malaise).
Stomach ache.
Rice-water-like stool.
When breathing, you can smell garlic.
Intense thirst.

Since such poisoning affects most important organs and systems, the corresponding signs can be detected:

From the cardiovascular system, palpitations, decreased blood pressure, and poor pulse filling are observed.
From the nervous system, mental disorders, hallucinations, even coma can be observed.
From the respiratory system, there is difficulty breathing, swelling of the larynx and lungs.
From the gastrointestinal tract there is a burn of the larynx, ulcers of the stomach and intestines, as well as possible bleeding.
When urinating, the urine becomes dark in color. Accompanied by the development of jaundice.
The kidney tubules become blocked, which provokes the development of acute renal failure.

When urinating, blood appears in the urine. Basically, such poisoning is characterized by gross hematuria and therefore the presence of blood is easy to determine. Depending on the symptoms that appear, gastrointestinal and paralytic forms are distinguished. In the gastrointestinal form, symptoms associated with disruption of the gastrointestinal tract predominantly appear. In the paralytic form, neurological symptoms appear that can develop to coma.

If it occurs, symptoms appear 2 to 8 weeks after the toxin enters the body. Due to the poison, the cerebral cortex suffers and encephalopathy develops. When nervous activity is disrupted, problems with the lower extremities appear. This mainly manifests itself as weakness in the legs.

Due to damage to the heart muscle, the development of myocarditis and pericarditis is provoked. If the liver is damaged, hepatitis may appear. The level of hemoglobin in the blood decreases, which provokes anemia. This is why nails become brittle and severe hair loss occurs.

When exposed to arsenic, not only the functioning of organs and systems changes, but also the structure of hair and nails is disrupted. This is manifested by the following symptoms:

Redness on the eyelids, armpits, pubis, scrotum;
Skin growth;
Peeling and detachment of skin;
White stripes appear on the nails.

What happens if you drink hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide, or peroxide, is a liquid medicinal product with antiseptic and hemostatic properties, which is used for external treatment of wounds, scratches, cuts, and bites. In the article we will look in detail at what happens if you take hydrogen peroxide internally, as well as for what purposes peroxide is used.

Uses of hydrogen peroxide

This medicine is used as:

Antiseptic solution used to treat open wounds;
Deodorant;
Local hemostatic agent.

In traditional medicine, hydrogen peroxide is used only externally. The foam that forms after liquid enters the damaged area easily draws out pus and dead skin particles.

As a result, the wound heals faster and inflammatory processes stop.

However, adherents of unconventional methods claim that if you drink the solution, following a certain scheme, you can get rid of a number of diseases.

To understand the consequences of ingesting the product, it is important to know that peroxide is available in solutions of different concentrations. Pharmacies sell 3% liquid. However, peroxide can be 30%. It is important to note that the more concentrated the product, the greater the chance of severe burns.

Why do you get a headache after drinking alcohol?

Taking hydrogen peroxide orally

If a person decides to swallow hydrogen peroxide in its pure form, burns will appear on the mucous membranes of the mouth, esophagus and even stomach. For some, diluted peroxide can cause swelling of the respiratory system, which, if first aid is not provided in a timely manner, can cause suffocation and death.

In some cases, internal bleeding develops, and the lead salts included in the drug cause severe intoxication, accompanied by the following symptoms:

Nausea;
Vomit;
Dizziness, headaches;
Impaired consciousness;
Problems with coordination.

If peroxide is swallowed by a child

Dangerous medications should be kept out of the reach of children. It is important to remember that peroxide is a strong alkali, which, once inside, breaks down into two components:

Atomic oxygen;
Water.

Immediately after this, the mucous tissues of the digestive organs begin to rapidly collapse. The opinion that peroxide saturates tissues with oxygen is erroneous. The drug causes gas embolism of blood vessels, which causes severe, sometimes fatal consequences. Gas bubbles, once in the blood, contribute to blockage of blood vessels in such vital organs as:

Heart;
Kidneys;
Lungs;
Liver;
Brain.

As a result of impaired vascular circulation, irreversible tissue necrosis occurs and the person dies.

First aid for peroxide poisoning

Symptoms of hydrogen peroxide poisoning:

Sore throat;
Acute pain in the abdomen and esophagus;
Nausea, vomiting;
Breathing problems;
Violation of general health.

In such situations, the main thing is not to get confused and try to correctly provide first aid to the victim. To neutralize the effect of peroxide, it is necessary to give the victim a couple of sips of cold milk or regular cool drinking water. The liquid will help “knock down” the resulting foam and prevent dangerous consequences.

If a child or adult has drunk a lot of concentrated peroxide, the stomach should be rinsed as quickly as possible, freeing it of the dangerous liquid.

To do this, you need to force the victim to drink as much cool, clean water as possible, and then provoke a gag reflex. After the liquid comes out, it is worth giving the victim activated carbon or another sorbent.

If you cannot swallow the drug, you can grind it to a powder, dilute it in water and then take it.

In cases where a person is unconscious and it is not possible to provide first aid, you should urgently call an ambulance without self-medicating. In case of serious complications, the victim is placed in the intensive care unit.

Using peroxide for gargling, nasal drops

Any doctor will tell you that treating these organs with peroxide is dangerous to health. Firstly, such manipulations will not bring any benefit, but will only provoke the appearance of deep burns and complications.

Secondly, peroxide accidentally ingested during rinsing and instillation injures the stomach and intestines and can cause internal bleeding. It is important to protect your eyes from peroxide.

Even a drop of peroxide that gets on the mucous membrane of the eye can cause partial or complete loss of visual function.

Why do people sleepwalk at night?

Differences between 3% and 30% hydrogen peroxide solution

Hydrogen peroxide 3% concentration is sold in any pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. It is this solution that is usually used to disinfect wounds and stop bleeding.

This liquid is weakly concentrated, and even if it gets on the mucous membrane, there will be no serious damage, which cannot be said about a drug containing 30% of the active substance. Once on the delicate mucous membrane, the liquid will cause severe burns, up to and including complete tissue destruction.

Even if after this it is possible to save a person, the affected organs will no longer function as before.

conclusions

Hydrogen peroxide of any concentration is prohibited from being taken orally, even if there are many positive reviews about its miraculous effect;
To avoid harm to your child, you should store the drug in a hard-to-reach place;
It is important to provide first aid to the victim in a timely manner and immediately call an ambulance.

When is hospitalization needed?

Sometimes, when trying to poison rats, people themselves are exposed to the harmful effects of toxic substances. In some cases, it is necessary to hospitalize the victim. Treatment in a hospital is carried out as follows. Drugs from the group of hepatoprotectors and forced diuresis are prescribed. In addition, as mentioned earlier, it is mandatory to administer an antidote in the form of vitamin K. It is administered for 15-30 days, depending on the degree of intoxication.

In case of a particularly complex form of poisoning, the doctor may prescribe a blood plasma transfusion. This manipulation will help replenish the blood clotting factor. The degree of recovery of the patient can be determined by studying the prothrombin index. Taking B vitamins will help restore the functioning of the immune system after an illness. The patient should get plenty of rest, avoid stressful situations and physical strain.

So, rat poison is a truly dangerous substance. To avoid poisoning, you can resort to other methods of fighting rats, for example, traps

If, nevertheless, the choice is made in favor of poison, it is imperative to follow all precautions

Diagnosis of toxic poisoning

A large number of toxic substances and a variety of clinical manifestations make diagnosis difficult. Etiological diagnosis is based on:

assessment of clinical information (history, results of examination of the scene of the incident, specificity of clinical symptoms);
laboratory research data - qualitative and quantitative determination of the content of toxic substances in various environments of the body (toxicology departments, centers and forensic bureaus).

A variety of poisons and their effect on pests

Rat poison can be purchased from a veterinary pharmacy. It is already coated with a low-toxic drug and the possibility of poisoning is reduced.

It is not recommended to prepare poison for rats on your own, even if there are people who have already made it and successfully used it themselves.

You can become poisoned by rat poison during cooking by inhaling, or it can enter the body through damaged skin, or it can enter the intestines through dirty, poorly washed hands. In such cases, internal bleeding is possible, which is life-threatening.

In just a few hours, a deficiency of vitamin K forms in the body, the walls of blood vessels begin to collapse, which provokes a failure in the normal functioning of the liver. The blood changes its composition, a serious form of anemia occurs, then oxygen starvation of the brain.

If you do not seek medical help in time, then in just 1-2 days the body suffers a serious malfunction: the normal functioning of the liver, kidneys, and lungs is disrupted, and degeneration of internal tissues occurs.

Chemical compositions for deratization are classified as pesticides. They are used on an industrial and domestic scale to control rodents. There are several chemical compounds on sale that have similar effects on the mouse, rat and human body:

“Strychnine” and “White phosphorus” are highly toxic poisons. Extremely dangerous to human health.
“Zinc phosphite” and “Krysid” are highly toxic and belong to the category of fast-acting poisons. Rodents die in 100% of cases. The instructions for their use say that use is permissible in exceptional cases, if other means are powerless. The poison poses a great danger to humans.
Preparations based on “Zookoumarin”. A common drug that is freely available.

The lethal dose of rat poison for humans depends on the main active ingredient. When taking drugs based on Warfarin (a strong anticoagulant), 4.8 grams is enough for death.

When using the latest generation of drugs, symptoms of rat poison poisoning begin to appear only after 2–4 days. After interacting with enzymes and digestive juice, toxins reduce the production of vitamin K, which is responsible for blood clotting, its composition and consistency. The patient's enzyme production is disrupted, hemoglobin and important indicators for the body decrease.

It is more difficult to predict the body's reaction when consuming rat poison made with the addition of phosphorus, nitric acid or strychnine. It affects internal organs, accumulates in the liver and kidneys, and can penetrate the brain. Many toxins negatively affect the functionality of nerve endings and provoke their death.

Poisons against rats can be addictive to rats. If an animal swallows a poisoned bait with a small concentration of poison and does not die, then over time it will develop an aversion to this substance, and the drug will be powerless in the fight against rodents. Therefore, poisons for deratization are constantly being improved.

To enhance the toxic effect of arsenic-based drugs, manufacturers add other toxic components: white and yellow phosphorus, thallium sulfate, strychnine. The combination of such substances kills not only rats and mice, but can kill pets and cause irreparable harm to human health.

The most modern and advanced poisons against rats are zoocoumarins. They contain anticoagulants that block the animal's blood from clotting. Once the pest enters the body, zoocoumarin causes internal bleeding and death. Through natural openings in the rat’s body, poisoned blood flows out and poisons its relatives.

Anticoagulants for rats come in first and second generation. First generation drugs are less toxic and can be completely excreted by animals through the kidneys within 3 days. Such components act very slowly. Over time, rodents become accustomed to them and they lose their effectiveness.

Classification of poisons for deratization

Rodent control is a common necessity when running a farm. Using rat poison, you can quickly get rid of dangerous pests that spread infections and spoil supplies and food. Chemical compounds known as “rodenticides” are produced on the basis of highly toxic substances and are included in the list of drugs that require careful handling.

Rat poison is classified according to the degree of danger and toxicity:

Compositions based on zoocoumarin. Their action leads to blood clotting disorders and blocks the functioning of the diuretic system. Pests die from internal bleeding.
Rats from zinc phosphoride with the addition of naphthylthiourea. These are the most effective drugs that can kill rats within 4-8 hours after consuming the mixture. Disinfection specialists recommend using them limitedly, only in the presence of a professional exterminator.
Highly toxic compounds. They may contain strychnine, arsenic, and various types of phosphorus, which lead to damage to the internal organs of the animal. Due to the high degree of danger, they are not recommended for home use.

The most common accumulative anticoagulants for use. Such mouse poison, after eating, remains in the liver and kidneys, disrupting the reproduction process of rodents. On sale you can find many options for poisonous drugs, which should be selected carefully: Flocumafen, Warfarin, Ethylphenacin, Brodifacoum. They may contain organic and chemical components, acids, and salt compounds included in cadaveric poison.

Most often, rat poison looks like a fine, light-colored powder with a faint odor. This allows you to add it to porridges or purees made from ordinary products. Sometimes small granules, tablets or sachets of ready-to-use mass are offered. The compounds dissolve well in food, which attracts hungry rodents. It is recommended to additionally stir some products in water, leaving the bowl in the path of rodent migration.

This method of preparing poison has a downside. The pleasant smell attracts pets. If you do not hide the fragrant bait with toxins, the dog may be poisoned with rat poison, which brings quick death. Therefore, it is necessary to think about the location of traps, study how the active component works in order to provide assistance in a timely manner.

Types of rat poison and its effect on the human body

Rat poison is called a “rodenticide” - it is a means of killing rodents. It belongs to the group of pesticides and is widely used in agriculture and in everyday life. There are several types of rodenticides that differ in the effect of rat poison on animals, including humans.

Ratside (naphthylthiourea) and zinc phosphide are currently limited in use due to high toxicity. They are acute agents and cause 100% death of rodents within a few hours after eating the bait. They are used under strict control in areas where other poisons no longer work.
Obsolete poisons prohibited for use: arsenic and lead compounds, thallium sulfate, yellow or white phosphorus, strychnine.
Almost all commercially available anti-rat and mouse products contain zoocoumarins. These are substances that interfere with blood clotting. As a result of eating such poisons, rodents die from internal bleeding. First generation anticoagulants: Warfarin (Zookoumarin), Ratindan, Izoindan, Ethylphenacin and others. They do not accumulate in the body, act slowly and are excreted by the kidneys within 3–4 days. Some rodent populations develop immunity to this group of anticoagulants over time. Therefore, more potent drugs were invented. Second generation anticoagulants are more toxic, act faster and accumulate in the body, that is, they have a cumulative effect. This group includes: Brodifacoum, Bromadiolone, Flocumafen, Difenacoum and others.

When rat poison is ingested, the lethal dose for humans will depend on the active substance and the state of health, primarily the liver. It is the liver that synthesizes the factors necessary for normal blood clotting. And anticoagulant poisons destroy these substances. For Warfarin, the lethal dose (LD50) is 60 mg/kg body weight, and for Bromadiolone – 300 mg/kg.

It is difficult to accidentally ingest large amounts of rat poison. To obtain a lethal dose, repeated exposure of anticoagulants to the body will be required. Rats must eat the bait for a week to die. In addition, the finished form of rat poison usually contains from 0.1 to 2% of the active substance. To prepare the bait, the drug is mixed with grain, minced meat or other food attractive to rodents. Rat poison, which includes zoocoumarins, in a ready-to-use mixture contains approximately 2–3% of the drug, which in terms of pure poison is an average of 0.02%. Thus, if an adult needs to eat 3-4 grams of pure poison to die, then in terms of the commercial form this will be about 150 grams. Soft briquettes - anti-rat tablets, so popular today, contain 0.005% poison. Even a child needs to swallow a fairly large piece to become seriously poisoned.

It should be noted that some rat poisons can be absorbed through the skin.

Those working on bait preparation should take precautions

When is poisoning possible?

When a large population of rodents is discovered on one’s territory, which not only spoils food products and things, leaving traces of their vital activity everywhere, but also transmits infections, a person has a natural desire to fight the enemies with radical methods. Poisoning of people with rodent poisons is extremely rare, since everyone uses protective clothing and a respirator or a cotton-gauze bandage during processing. And, basically, only the rat always suffers.

Sometimes toxic substances can enter the body even of someone who does not poison pests and does not work at an enterprise that produces poisons in various forms. For example, a person's body may be at risk if he decides to eat and drink something at a nearby eatery (including alcohol). For example, in Russia over the past 10 years there has not been a single fatality involving rat poison.

In 2007–2011, mass minor poisonings of school-age children occurred (as the population was informed about in newspapers). Everything ended well, as doctors were quickly able to provide assistance to the victims. It was established that the schoolchildren ate poisoned seeds. There are also several cases of poisoning of a child who inadvertently bit off or managed to swallow rodent tablets. In China, from 2002 to 2011, there were blatant cases of deliberate poisoning of people with poisons.

There are also cases where poisoned kebabs were eaten (it is assumed that they were made by the owners of the establishment from the meat of dead rats and foxes). As a result, death occurred in only 10% of the total number of victims.

Types and effects of rodenticides

There are several types of rat poison, differing in their principle of action:

Ratside and zinc phosphide are highly toxic and their use is limited by strict controls. The use of such a poison is a last resort when slow-acting poisons do not work. These drugs cause 100% rapid death of all rodents.
Compounds of lead and arsenic, strychnine, thallium sulfate, white or yellow phosphorus - they were previously used, but now their use is prohibited.
Modern drugs against mice and rats, which are commercially available, which include zoocoumarins (anticoagulants). These poisons do not accumulate in the human body and are eliminated in 3-4 days. The consequences of poisoning manifest themselves individually, based on the health status of the individual.

The lethal dose of rat poison for humans depends on the composition of the individual drug, because the active substance in each poison is not the same and has a different concentration. Much also depends on the physical condition of the victim. When a person has liver problems, he can become very poisoned by rat poison. After all, the anticoagulants contained in the poison destroy the blood components necessary for its clotting. And it is these components that the liver synthesizes, so it is under the most severe attack.

In general, it is difficult to become seriously poisoned by rat poison, because its dosage is calculated on small rodents. That is, an adult would have to eat enough of it to seriously suffer. Usually the poison contains 0.1-2% of the active substance, the rest is bait for rodents. The poison will be fatal for a person if he consumes 3-4 g of the active substance, or approximately 150 g of poison - this is a lot.

And although death from rat poison among people is rare, this poison can seriously undermine health. Therefore, no risk is justified and safety measures must be strictly observed.

What happens if you drink hydrogen peroxide? A child accidentally drank hydrogen peroxide: what to do?

Hydrogen peroxide is also called peroxide. The liquid is transparent, has a “metallic” taste, and dissolves in ether, water and alcohol. If found in a concentrated aqueous solution, it is explosive.

What happens if you drink hydrogen peroxide, what happens to the body?

This is an excellent antiseptic that cauterizes well and stops bleeding. But this remedy can only be used for external wounds; it cannot be taken internally. This drug is a caustic substance and is included in the category of alkalis.

Once in the body, peroxide, even in small quantities, causes a burn to the mucous membranes, liver and esophagus. Even a few drops dissolved in water can lead to swelling of the larynx. As a result, suffocation may occur.

What happens if you drink hydrogen peroxide? If a person drinks it in its pure form (very strong concentration), this leads to severe internal bleeding. Nausea, pain in the stomach and throat, and vomiting begins. Peroxide contains lead salts. They cause severe intoxication of the body. However, they are almost impossible to remove.

Can peroxide be used to gargle and drop in the nose?

Under no circumstances should you do this. Because such rinsing will not bring any benefit, but will only cause burns to the larynx and mucous membranes. Causes intestinal injury. When instilled into the nose and ears, the same effect occurs. Therefore, getting peroxide into the eyes is unacceptable, otherwise you can partially or completely lose your vision.

If peroxide is stored in an insecure place, it happens that children have time to taste it. It must be remembered that this is a very strong oxidizing agent. When it enters the body, it breaks down into atomic oxygen and water. After this, the walls of the stomach and esophagus begin to collapse. Oxygen, as there is a misconception, does not saturate the blood, but causes gas embolism of blood vessels.

What happens if you drink hydrogen peroxide? The bubbles that form easily clog the blood vessels of the kidneys, heart and lungs. Often they can reach the brain. As a result, tissue necrosis of the listed organs begins. And after this, death may occur.

Peroxide penetrates deeper than acetic acid, and peroxide burns are much worse. It does not have as great an effect on the stomach as on other organs. Gastric juice still slightly neutralizes the dangerous chemical. But for other organs it is very dangerous, and sometimes even several operations are necessary.

What actions to take if your baby drinks hydrogen peroxide?

You shouldn’t neglect calling an ambulance; it’s better to do it right away. Because the consequences of ingesting peroxide can be different. Swelling and pain from burns may begin in the stomach. Peroxide can even burn the skin. It all depends on its concentration.

When a child drinks hydrogen peroxide, what should you do in this case? First of all, you need to rinse your stomach. To do this you will need a thick probe. But at home it usually doesn’t happen, and you need to act without waiting for an ambulance. Therefore, you need to make your child drink as much water as possible. Even through force. And then induce vomiting.

How to properly rinse your stomach

If a child drinks hydrogen peroxide, then it is imperative to rid the body of the poison. To do this, use simple drinking water. And only cool.

The amount can be calculated based on the age of the child. How old is he - that’s how many liters he should drink in several doses. But no more than eight.

You need to know and remember that washing is done only if the baby is conscious.

After everything is done, you need to give activated carbon, which is sold at any pharmacy. It is better if it is always kept at home just in case. One tablet is calculated for each year of life. To make them easier to swallow, you can crush them and give them in powder form along with water. In a few steps. Charcoal helps remove a large number of poisons from the body.

But even after washing, an examination by a doctor is necessary. Tablets can get stuck in the mucous membrane, so rinsing is done more than once. Doctors will additionally give you medications that serve as an antidote. If a child drank peroxide in a hairdresser, then you should definitely call an ambulance, because the concentration there is quite high.

Use of peroxide in medicine

In medical activities, only diluted solutions are used. And only for small wounds on the skin. Studies have shown that peroxide cleans wounds well, and it is also a good antiseptic.

But the healing time is longer. Peroxide does not speed up this process, but vice versa. But with deep purulent wounds, it is most preferable for treating damaged tissue. Thanks to the foam that it produces, blood, pus and dead skin are easily separated.

What dangers does hydrogen peroxide pose?

Despite its non-toxicity, peroxide is still dangerous. Highly concentrated solutions, when they come into contact with the skin, respiratory tract and mucous membranes, cause severe burns.

Therefore, taking hydrogen peroxide internally is harmful and dangerous. Especially in childhood. If its concentration is very high, then such a solution is explosive.

If ingested, it causes serious damage to many organs.

What is the difference between 3% and 30% hydrogen peroxide

Three percent peroxide is freely available in every pharmacy. This is what is used for healing and disinfecting wounds. This solution is weak and if not taken care of, the child may drink hydrogen peroxide unknowingly.

But, fortunately, he will not cause himself terrible burns. A three percent solution can be made at home. To do this, take hydropyrite containing 35 percent peroxide.

One tablet of it dissolves in a tablespoon of plain water.

But the concentrated solution contains 30 percent peroxide. Therefore, if you need to drink hydrogen peroxide for medicinal purposes, you must first dilute it. The concentration should be 1/10.

Peroxide contains one more hydrogen atom than water. As a result, its solution is considered a strong oxidizing agent.

Therefore, if it enters a child's stomach, it can have very serious consequences.

What happens if you drink hydrogen peroxide? The organs of the body are very delicate and peroxide can not only damage them, but also completely destroy them.

Subsequently, the baby may require more than one recovery operation. But the organs will no longer be healthy. They may begin to break down or become painful much earlier than those that were never damaged by peroxide.

That is why peroxide should be stored out of the reach of children.

Symptoms of rat poison poisoning

Severe headache. Its degree depends on the dose of the drug received. With increasing dosage, pain increases, and their localization is found in various places.
Dizziness and weakness of the body resulting from extensive blood loss. Both internal and external bleeding may occur: from the nose, gums, and bloody spots in the urine are also possible.
There is a decrease in appetite and vomiting occurs. This is due to the poison entering the gastrointestinal tract. Possible stomach upset, manifested by diarrhea with bloody impurities.
The skin turns pale as a result of impaired blood clotting and significant blood loss.
Inhibited reaction of the body to external influences.
Changes in the functioning of the organs of vision and hearing when a huge amount of poison enters the body.

Types of poison

Ratside and zinc phosphide. Rarely used due to increased toxicity. They deliver a lightning strike to rodents, which die within a couple of hours after consuming the bait. The use of such poisons is limited and is used when absolutely necessary, where other means do not help.
Old prohibited products, including arsenic, lead sulfates, phosphorus, are not sold due to the enormous danger to humans.
Medicines against rats and mice that are freely available and contain zoocoumarins. The action of these substances is based on a blood clotting disorder, so rats and mice die by bleeding from the inside.

Types of zoocoumarins

First generation rodenticides include: Warfarin, Izoindan, Ratindan, Ethylphenacin. These drugs are less dangerous because they do not linger in people, being freely excreted in the urine within three to four days. However, some rats have developed immunity to such components. They act slowly, so scientists have synthesized substances that have a stronger effect.
Next generation anticoagulants: Difenacoum, Bromadiolone, Brodifacoum, Flocumafen. They have a more powerful effect on rodents. A feature of such drugs is their cumulative effect, making them more difficult to remove from the human body. The action occurs in a short time, but the toxicity is higher compared to other toxic substances.

Causes of poisoning

Most often, a child can become poisoned in the summer by eating unwashed vegetables, fruits, or berries treated with chemicals. With uncooked shashlik meat, there is a risk of introducing an intestinal pathogen into the body.

Food kept warm for more than 2 hours can also become a source of infection. You can also be poisoned by homemade canned food if it is prepared in violation of the rules.

A baby can accidentally get poisoned by eating poisonous berries:

raven eye,
nightshade,
black elderberry,
wolfberry

Herbs are dangerous:

everything is poisonous,
hemlock,
dope,
henbane.

You can be very seriously poisoned by mushrooms:

pale toadstool,
fly agaric,
false chanterelles or honey mushrooms.

Toxic substances enter inside not only through the mouth, but also through the skin and through breathing.

First aid and therapy

When poison has entered the human body, it is necessary to urgently provide first aid. It will consist of observing the following measures:

Induce a gag reflex. To do this, press on the root of the tongue with two fingers.
Drink 2.3 liters of purified water.
Use sorbents - Activated carbon or Sorbex.
Take a laxative, which will help remove toxins from the body.

After this, the victim must be urgently taken to the hospital. People cannot treat intoxication at home, as it will all end in death. In the hospital, gastric lavage is performed and an effective treatment regimen is drawn up. Since poisoning leads to a reduction in the production of vitamin K, the first thing to do is prescribe it. Severe poisoning will require a blood transfusion.

The duration of therapy will depend on the stage of intoxication, first aid measures and the amount of poison that has entered the body.

When the poison has penetrated into the oral cavity of a small child, and the parents have managed to completely remove it, the baby still needs to be taken to the hospital. There they perform a standard set of measures: they induce a gag reflex, prescribe sorbents and a laxative. The submitted funds are accepted within 2-3 days. There are situations when vitamin K is introduced into the treatment regimen. Throughout the entire period of treatment, the victim must be provided with peace and no stress. After treatment, after 14-20 days, the doctor sends the patient for a blood clotting test. Further, B vitamins may be prescribed to maintain the body.

If poison penetrates the skin, it must be thoroughly washed off with water and soap. If the poison gets into your eyes, also rinse them with running water. When redness and itching occur on the skin, you should immediately consult a doctor. Over the course of several days, assess the condition of the mucous membrane of the eyes. If redness or burning occurs there, you should consult an ophthalmologist.

Rat poison has a detrimental effect on the human body. Sometimes it becomes the cause of death. At the first symptoms or suspicions of intoxication, you should immediately seek medical help. Only timely treatment is a guarantee against the development of negative consequences. Before using poison, you should consult a specialist. It is a qualified consultation that will help you get rid of many problems.

Treatment for acute poisoning

If a person does not know what to do if he is poisoned by rat poison, he should immediately go to the hospital. Using a probe, the specialist rinses the stomach and performs a gastroscopy to check for bleeding or opening of an ulcer. During the first 24 hours, the patient requires special attention and constant monitoring. He undergoes a number of procedures aimed at normalizing the functioning of the heart, respiratory and urinary systems:

In case of a critical decrease in blood cells and to prevent dangerous bleeding, vitamin K is administered, which serves as an antidote.
Drugs to increase blood clotting (Vikasol, Phytomenadione) are administered.
If necessary, plasma transfusion is recommended.
She continues to take Polysorb and Enterosgel sorbents.

In case of poisoning with rat poison, it is important to save the packaging of the drug and show it to your doctor. This will help you choose an antidote and the right treatment, predict possible complications and promptly prevent their development.

Compound

Toxic substances for baiting rodents are divided into several groups according to the content of specific components in them. Depending on what additives are used in the preparation of the product, rat poison may have a certain smell and taste, which also affects the effectiveness of the drug.

First generation

The first generation rat poison included the following components:

arsenic;
lead;
white and yellow phosphorus;
strychnine;
thalia sulfate.

These substances quickly poison the animal’s body, leading to instant death. Moreover, even a small dose of the toxin is considered dangerous not only for rodents, but also for humans. Therefore, the use of first-generation poisons faded into the background over time.

Second generation

Second generation poisons are considered no less effective poisons for rats and mice. Such pesticides may contain:

difenacum;
brodifacoum;
zinc phosphide;
sodium fluoride;
bromadiolone;
glomuritis;
glyfluoride;
flocusamen, etc.

These drugs act almost instantly, causing the death of the rodent, but are considered quite safe for humans.

New Generation

New generation drugs include drugs that have a prolonged effect. They contain components such as warfarin and cause irreversible changes in the circulatory system of rodents, which leads to increased blood clotting and internal hemorrhages. But the animal, slowly dying, does not feel the symptoms of intoxication.

One such drug is a drug called Ratron. German poison for rats and mice is packaged in bags that do not require opening. After the rodents try the granules, the toxin begins to affect the animal's body. Within 4 days it dies from internal hemorrhage.

Main Component Basics

The modern chemical industry has come a long way, offering nail polish removers without harmful acetone. But the majority of ordinary people still continue to use these poisonous drugs, endangering their foolish children.

Acetone itself is a colorless liquid that has a pungent aroma. You can be convinced of this every time someone opens a bottle with such harmful contents. In addition to cases where a child drank nail polish remover, doctors sometimes record cases of inhalation exposure to acetone. This happens quite rarely, but it still happens. A spilled jar in a small room without ventilation and a baby in such a room at the same time is a danger signal. It is also better to limit very young children from going to a nail salon, where the child can be poisoned by acetone vapor.

Since this substance spreads very quickly through the bloodstream, intoxication makes itself felt very quickly. But acetone is removed from the body extremely slowly. This applies to both its entry through the respiratory system and orally. Even getting nail polish remover on your baby's skin can cause poisoning. The surrounding skin may turn red and show other signs of irritation.

Necessary treatment after poisoning

It is almost impossible to cope with mouse poisoning at home. Excessive bleeding can be fatal. You need to call an ambulance as soon as possible. Upon arrival of the doctor, the patient will require hospitalization.

Gastric lavage will be performed in the hospital. Doctors will take all the necessary tests to create a complete picture of the victim’s health, on the basis of which medications will be prescribed. It is most important to make a correct diagnosis, since symptoms of mouse poisoning appear after a couple of days.

Anticoagulants sharply reduce vitamin K, so the first priority will be to replenish reserves of the necessary element. After 15-30 days, the necessary medication will be administered and maintenance therapy will be provided. All measures depend on the amount of poison that gets inside and its residence time. In severe cases, the doctor urgently gives a blood transfusion to restore clotting.

There are cases in which parents managed to remove the anticoagulant from the child’s mouth in time. Under such conditions, hospitalization is also necessary to exclude possible intoxication and provide assistance to the victim. For several days, measures will be taken to cleanse the stomach using laxatives and various adsorbent substances.

The child must be under the strict supervision of the attending physician. As a result of the appearance of uncharacteristic symptoms, the specialist will be able to quickly make the necessary decision, adjust the treatment and provide timely assistance. The patient needs complete rest, relaxation and complete absence of stress. After treatment, approximately two weeks later, you will need to donate blood to test your clotting ability. Also, to maintain the body’s strength, it won’t hurt to take a course of vitamin B.

Symptoms of alcohol poisoning in a child

As was said, there is no time to panic. But it is necessary to establish for sure that the child swallowed alcohol and not some other toxic substance. Carefully examine everything around - perhaps the container from which he drank is somewhere nearby, and then you will be able to determine exactly what and how much your child drank. If not, try to ask him, of course, if the injured child is able to speak clearly. If none of these options is possible, pay attention to the following indicators:

in a mild degree of alcohol poisoning, the child is conscious, but does not behave quite adequately: his eyes are shiny, his speech is slurred, his gait is wobbling;

in more severe cases, visual disturbances are noted, the child is unable to stand on his feet, reacts poorly or completely ignores calls to him, and practically cannot speak. Vomiting often occurs at this stage;

In extremely severe alcohol poisoning, coma occurs. Breathing is weak and intermittent, the pulse is almost not palpable, the skin is cold and may be covered with sticky sweat.

If emergency assistance is not provided, cardiac arrest may occur.

When you need medical help

Medical attention is needed for any poisoning. Once the type of toxic substance is determined, a suitable treatment is selected.

Treatment:

An antidote is introduced - Atropine, Unithiol, Antarsin. The type of antidote depends on the poisonous compound.
Drugs that restore water and electrolyte balance are used.
In some cases, dialysis is indicated.
Hemosorption is carried out - the removal of toxic substances from the blood.
Specific medications are prescribed to normalize the functioning of the cardiac system and other internal organs.

Treatment is carried out until the body's functionality is completely restored. Vitamin complexes and dietary nutrition are selected for the patient.

Signs

Insecticide poisoning is quite easy to recognize, since this intoxication occurs quite often and there are a number of specific recommendations that involve identifying the problem at an early stage.

Pesticides can be found in almost any household, regardless of its size, and everyone who comes into contact with such household poisons should know exactly when poisoning occurs, how to deal with it, and what to do to prevent a similar incident from happening again.

Primary symptoms characteristic of mild poisoning will manifest themselves in the following ailments:

feeling of impending vomiting;
severe dizziness;
state of general weakness;
loss of orientation in space;
coldness of the extremities.

Interestingly, even the chemical composition of the elements that resulted in poisoning has little effect on the symptoms. As a rule, the signs are uniform and quite easy to recognize.

First of all, the patient will feel severe lightheadedness, after which continuous vomiting and nausea will begin. Characteristic of this kind of intoxication is such a manifestation as an increase in general body temperature, as well as a significant decrease in visual activity.

If the necessary first aid measures are not provided, within a few hours the victim will experience disturbances in the functioning of the heart, as well as pulmonary edema, problems and malfunctions in such important organs as the liver and kidneys.

And yet, poisoning with certain types of toxic substances has characteristic features:

If chlorine enters the body, the victim experiences a feeling of bitterness in the mouth, a dry cough, strong salivation, and inflammation of the mucous membranes.
Anabasine causes severe vomiting, which is accompanied by an unpleasant burning sensation in the throat. The disease is also characterized by convulsions, swelling of the mucous membranes and constant diarrhea.
In case of poisoning with organochlorine compounds, the victim experiences tremors of the limbs, severe convulsions, vomiting, diarrhea, discomfort in the heart, and sudden bleeding from the nose.
Organophosphorus causes severe chills, which is accompanied by shortness of breath and pain in the heart area. The victim may experience blurred vision and speech, as well as severe dizziness.

Signs of poisoning from cockroaches

You can suspect poisoning from cockroaches based on the following signs:

The use of cockroach repellents or possible access to them is the main and most important sign. Most often, symptoms of illness appear on the day of application of insecticides or 1-2 days after that. Poisoning often occurs in children who access chemicals and play with cockroach traps or insect chalk;
When intoxicated, patients experience specific symptoms that help determine the cause of poisoning.

Poisoning

It is known that any insecticide poisoning has an extremely negative effect on the central nervous system. As a result, almost all human organs suffer, and health deteriorates sharply, which can be understood without specialized research and examination by a doctor. The components that make up harmful substances inhibit brain cells, as a result of which the system loses the ability to function normally.

The excitability of a person who has undergone such intoxication doubles. At the same time, symptoms also appear in other important functions of the body - for example, the victim begins to experience severe arrhythmia, which also affects well-being.

It is important to understand that in the presence of such signs, first aid and treatment should completely exclude various stimulants that can aggravate the negative effects. It is necessary to competently approach the choice of medications and completely abandon self-treatment - only a medical specialist should engage in therapy.

About poisons for cockroaches

Cockroaches are arthropod insects that have lived in human homes since cave times. They actively destroy food supplies, spoil food and household items, and are carriers of infectious diseases and parasites.

It is almost impossible to get rid of cockroaches without the use of special means. They multiply quickly, live for several years and are remarkably resistant to poisons, radiation and radiation.

Cockroach poison comes in different forms:

insecticidal gels;
aerosols;
suspensions;
crayons;
traps;
folk remedies.

Insecticide poisoning occurs most often due to:

Failure to comply with safety precautions - when preparing or using solutions and aerosols. It is recommended to carry out the treatment of the premises using a respirator, in the absence of people and pets, with the windows open. Violation of any of these rules can lead to poisoning. Most often, at home, poisoning occurs when spraying aerosols in an enclosed space or inhaling fumes during the preparation of solutions and surface treatment.
If the substance gets on food, water, clothing or bedding, consuming food or water with insecticides can cause serious poisoning, and contact with clothing and bedding can cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
By negligence - such poisoning occurs when household insecticides get into the stomach or mucous membranes of children who find aerosols, pencils or dry mixtures and try them or spray them near the face. Unfortunately, it is precisely such poisonings that occur most often and are the most severe. No less often, pets suffer from poisoning - cats, dogs, who also need help and treatment.
