Writing Notes: Poison

References (Forms, Actions & Examples of Poison; Route of Administration; Some Symptoms; What to do if a Poisoning Happens)

400 years back, Paracelsus stated that, “All substances are poisons; there is none which is not a poison.”

If the right dose is taken, it could become a remedy, otherwise poisonous.

Poison - a substance which when administered, inhaled or swallowed by living organism causes ill effects on the body. It is defined also as a medicine in a toxic dose. Toxic substance may be solid, liquid, gas or any environmental agent.

Forms of Poison

Physical form: Gaseous/volatile/vaporous forms of poisons act faster than liquid poisons as they are quickly absorbed. Similarly, liquid poisons act faster than solid poisons. Gaseous or volatile > liquid > solid. For solid poisons, powdered poisons act quickly than the lumps. For example, there are certain seeds that escape the gastrointestinal tract as they are solid, but when crushed, they can be fatal. For solids: powdered > lumps

Chemical form: Few substances like mercury or arsenic are not poisonous as they are insoluble and cannot be absorbed when they are in combination with other substances like mercuric chloride, arsenic oxide, etc. In other cases, the action is vice versa. For example, there are some substances that become inert in combination with silver nitrate and hydrochloric acid and are deadly and poisonous when present in pure forms.

Mechanical combination: The effect of poisons is significantly altered when they are combined with inert substances.

Action of Poisons

Local action: Direct action on the affected site of the body. Examples include irritation and inflammation in strong mineral acids and alkalis, congestion and inflammation by irritants, the effect on motor and sensory nerves, etc.

Remote action: Affects the person due to absorption of that poison into the system of that person. For example, alcohol is absorbed in the system and then it affects the person.

Local and remote actions: Some poisons can affect both local and remote organs. Thus, they not only affect the area with contact to the poison but also cause toxic effect after absorption into the system.

General action: The absorbed poison affects more than one system of the body, for example, mercury, arsenic, etc.

Route of Administration

The route of administration is the path through which a drug, toxin, or poison is taken or administered into the body of a person which is distinguished by the location where any drug is applied. It is mostly classified on the basis of its target:

Topical—has a local effect

Enteral—has a wide effect, i.e., affect the whole system

Parental—follows a systemic action

Poisons are given or taken so that death can occur at once by shock due to stoppage of body’s vital systems.

Route of administration plays a very important role in determination of death by poison as time in which death occurs are fastest in inhaled poisons, relatively slow in injected and lastly when ingested orally.

Some Symptoms

Sore throat

Trouble breathing

Drowsiness, irritability, or jumpiness

Nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain without fever

Lip or mouth burns or blisters

Unusual drooling

Poisonous Fumes or Gases

In the home, poisonous fumes can be emitted from the following sources:

A car running in a closed garage

Leaky gas vents

Wood, coal, or kerosene stoves that are not working properly

Mixing bleach and ammonia together while cleaning, which makes chloramine gas

Strong fumes from other cleaners and solvents

Common Household Products

Oily hydrocarbon products are thin and slippery and can easily suffocate if the substances are drawn into the lungs when ingested. The products can cause chemical pneumonia by coating the inside of the lungs. Products that are required to have a safety lid include:

Baby oils

Sunscreens

Nail enamel dryers

Hair oils

Bath, body, and massage oils

Makeup removers

Some automotive chemicals (gasoline additives, fuel injection cleaners, and carburetor cleaners)

Cleaning solvents (wood oil cleaners, metal cleaners, spot removers, and adhesive removers)

Some water repellents containing mineral spirits used for decks, shoes, and sports equipment

General-use household oil

Gun-cleaning solvents containing kerosene

Oil products that are thicker and more "syrupy" are not as problematic, since they are not as easily inhaled into the lungs.

What to do if a poisoning happens

Swallowed poisons

Stay calm, act quickly, and follow these guidelines:

Get the poison away

If the substance is still in the mouth, make them spit it out or remove it with your fingers (keep this along with any other evidence of what was swallowed)

Do not make them vomit

Do not follow instructions on packaging regarding poisoning because these are often outdated. Instead, call Poison Help to get connected to a local poison center.

Take or send the poison container with you to help the healthcare provider find out what was swallowed.

Poisons on the skin

If someone spills a chemical on his or her body, remove his or her clothes and rinse the skin with lukewarm—not hot—water.

If the area shows signs of being burned, continue rinsing for at least 15 minutes, no matter how much they may protest.

Then call the poison control center for further advice.

Do not use ointments or grease.

Poison in the eye

Flush the eye by holding the eyelid open and pouring a steady stream of lukewarm—not hot—water into the inner corner of the eye.

If this is a child, you may need help from another adult to hold the child while you rinse the eye.

Continue flushing the eye for 15 minutes, and call the poison control center for further instructions.

Do not use an eyecup, eyedrops, or ointment unless the poison center tells you to do so.

Poisonous fumes or gases

If someone breathes in fumes or gases, get him or her into fresh air right away.

If they are breathing without a problem, call the poison center for further instructions.

If they are having difficulty breathing, call 911 or your local emergency service (EMS).

If they have stopped breathing, start CPR and do not stop until they breathe on their own or someone else can take over.

If you can, have someone call 911 right away.

If you are alone, perform CPR for 2 minutes and then call 911.

Be prepared for a poisoning emergency by posting the poison center telephone number by every telephone in your home.

basic ass witch tips 🔮

[revised post from ~2018 & last edited on 9.29.24]

please note that these are all related to things i have actually seen discussed or mentioned. please do your research before blindly following the advice of someone online, myself included.

if you're on some kind of medication, including but not limited to hormonal birth control, heart medication, and anti-depressants, double check with your healthcare professional/provider [HCP] before you drink that new tea you just bought.

always, always, always tell your HCP before trying any kind of herbal supplement, whether it’s something you made yourself or something you bought at the store.

have a diagnosed medical condition? talk to your HCP before ingesting anything or putting anything on your body that you aren’t familiar with.

don’t. drink. essential. oils. essential oils are not consumable!!!!!

citrus oils can cause photosensitivity, or being sensitive to light and more susceptible to sunburns so be mindful when using these oils on your skin.

if it hasn't been emphasized enough, PLEASE dilute your essential oils before use! common carrier oils are grapeseed, castor, olive, coconut, avocado, almond, etc.

oil and water don't mix, so you would need to use an alcohol based solution with essential oils to dilute them that way (if you plan to use them for a spray or something of that nature).

be mindful of using sprays, incense, powders, etc. that could release particulates into the air around pets or those who have allergies, respiratory issues, etc.

don't involve your pets in your practice in a way that could be harmful to them - no essential oils on them, no crystals in their water bowl, no moon water that's been sitting on your shelf for weeks.

i beg you, please don't put crystals in any uh bodily orifices.

there are some herbs you absolutely cannot burn (or use safely, really) for any reason, so make sure you're educated on all that beforehand; yew, for example, is highly toxic and potentially fatal if consumed or inhaled. the leaves, bark, and seeds contains a chemical called taxine, which is what some of the most hardcore chemotherapies are made from so keep that in the back of your mind.

that being said, please wear gloves and use common sense if you decide to forage for your own herbs or plants. i know that plant identifying apps exist so if you have a smartphone, that might be a good place to start.

putting salt on grass does a couple of things: salt removes moisture from the soil, thus drying out the grass and killing it; and, salt causes chloride to build up in the soil, thus making it toxic which inhibits chlorophyll production, leading the grass to eventually "starve" and die - please don't do this.

don't leave candles unattended - even small ones; it's not a good habit to get into.

also!! crystal balls in direct sunlight can cause a fire so be careful!

more fire stuff - be mindful of the environment and also safety so check for burn bans before you make a fire outdoors.

sterile lancets, not needles or pins. that's all i'm gonna say about that.

don't drink water you collected from anywhere outside unless you plan to properly filter it first.

if you plan to store water for later use (moon water, for example), refrigerate it or set it in a cool, dark place.

distilled water is free of minerals and contaminants so it has a longer shelf life than tap or bottled water - keep this in mind when making charged waters or other potion type things.

fresh herbs or other things of that nature left at room temperature can also grow super harmful bacteria. for example, putting raw garlic in olive oil and leaving it at room temperature will end as a breeding ground for botulism and mold.

be safe out there!

@marzipanandminutiae it's clean dry hands that are bare BUT you need to be aware of the likelihood of toxic chemical treatments as part of the historical conservation within the museum. That is, lots of museum textiles/ethnographic materials are coated in extremely toxic compounds as insecticides, because that was the done thing.

At Penn Museum some of the anthropological textiles had a risk of various toxic substances on them due to older (now no longer practiced!) methods of treatment against pests/museum conservation practices.

Rather than touching or inhaling whatever people were using as pesticides for textile preservation in the late 1800's, I used gloves and appropriately masked to handle those objects when I was there.

Treatments against pests often included arsenic, mercury, and lead. Fun! ("Inorganic pesticides — arsenic trioxide (As2O3) or arsenous acid and mercury as mercuric chloride (HgCl)")

Actually to quote NMAI at length:

HOW WERE PESTICIDES APPLIED TO OBJECTS?

Application methods of pesticides are as varied as the pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides that have been used on collections throughout the decades. Understanding the different application methods is important in order to evaluate past methods of care, visible chemical alterations, and possible health hazards. One pesticide might have been applied in many different ways with a variety of individual preparations and recipes at different museums. It is often difficult to obtain information on preparation and application of the pesticide in question, since these treatments were probably considered standard procedure at the time and were often not recorded or documented. Also prior to 1972 (When the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act was passed) the use and application of many pesticide chemicals was unregulated. The pesticide chemical may be formulated in oil concentrate, emulsifying concentrate, wet able powder, dust, baited or resin pest strip. The chemicals might have been applied through dipping, spraying, aerosol bombing, misting, dusting, or fumigation techniques. Objects might have been completely filled or covered with a chemical over long periods of time. As the pesticide formulations changed over time, the application methods developed as well.

Otoh, ceramics I always handled bare handed, because they never needed any insecticide treatment.

But I would be way more worried about textiles barehanded than manuscripts. Not because of the objects, but for your own health and safety.

 Introduction Luxury vinyl tiles are a very popular flooring choice. LVT manufacturers can replicate the effects of stone and wood onto their synthetic tiles. This allows consumers to enjoy the beauty of stone or wood flooring in their space without shelling out for the initial high cost and ongoing maintenance fees associated with these natural floors. This article aims to explain what luxury vinyl tiles are actually made from and how the different layers work to give you a better understanding of this flooring type and whether or not it is suitable for your needs.   The Core  Most of the luxury vinyl tile itself is comprised of the core. The core is what gives LVT flooring its strength, flexibility and water-resistant properties. Most manufacturers use PVC (polyvinyl chloride) mixed with either fibreglass or a stone polymer. Luxury vinyl tiles made from a PVC and fibreglass mix tend to be more affordable and flexible making it a great choice for use in residential spaces. Whereas, LVT made with a PVC and stone powder mixture tends to be more rigid, stable and waterproof making it particularly good for commercial spaces.   The Print Layer On top of the core, manufacturers use a thin film that is digitally printed with a natural design (usually wood or stone) to transform the tile to accurately replicate a natural product. On top of this, texture can be added thanks to technological advancements to even make the surface of the tile feel like real stone or wood. This texturization also improves the safety of the tile by increasing traction and therefore reducing the likelihood of slipping on it.   The Protective Layer On top of the printed layer, manufacturers add a protective layer usually made from polyurethane (PU). This transparent layer protects the delicate designs of the print layer from any damage that could be caused by footfall or excessive dirt. Different luxury vinyl tiles have different thicknesses of protective layer. Logically, the thicker the layer the more durable the tile will be to scratches and accidental damage. Most manufacturers use a protective layer that is also UV (ultraviolet) resistant, which helps to stop the tile from fading due to excessive exposure to the sun meaning the tile can maintain its colour and design for longer. The Under Layer   Some luxury vinyl tiles come with built in underlay in the form of an under layer. This will remove the need for buying a separate sheet of underlay. Some under layers are made from foam and some are made from cork. The under layer helps add a touch of comfort underfoot when walking on these LVTs and also protects the tile from the subfloor affording it a longer life.   Are LVTs Environmentally-friendly? When reading this article, you may be surprised at all the chemical compounds used to create luxury vinyl tiles, such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and PU (polyurethane). This may lead you to wonder whether LVTs are environmentally-friendly. Luxury vinyl tile manufacturers are trying to improve their eco-friendliness by incorporating recycled materials into the production of their tiles. For example, instead of a PVC and fibreglass core, some manufacturers use a PVC and wood core, ensuring the wood material is recycled. Additionally, PVC itself can be also recycled which helps reduce environmental impact. When choosing a luxury vinyl tile look for a product that has environmentally-friendly endorsements on it to help support environmentally-conscious LVT manufacturers and minimise your impact on the earth.   Conclusion So now you know what luxury vinyl tiles are made from. They are a technologically advanced flooring product that are made up of many layers. You have the core of the tile which provides stability and flexibility. Then you have the design layer to mimic natural flooring options (usually stone or wood). Next is the protective layer to ensure your tile lasts a long time. Also, look beneath the tile to check if it has an under layer already built in for comfort. Lastly, when choosing a tile look for environmentally-friendly labelling which shows the manufacturer is using recycled materials in their product to minimise the impact on the earth. We hope this guide has taught you a thing or two about how luxury vinyl tiles are made and we invite you to browse the extensive range of luxury vinyl tiles that we offer at Flooring Hut!

Dealing with insects in Sports events. Role of Propoxur in Controlling Pest

Sports events need to be managed specifically as there can be many hazardous situations. The safety of players is also one of the aspects that need to be taken into consideration. Some of the common challenges include infection through a pest or a major disease such as Malaria or Dengue. To effectively eliminate such challenges, the use of Propoxur is beneficial as this has the potential to eliminate pests and insects in no time. The chemical compound is available in liquid and powder which are equally effective. Moreover, the effects are long-lasting which ensures that even after sprinkling the chemical, effectiveness can be seen for some days or even months. Being less costly and powerful for the majority of the pests including mosquitoes, Propoxur is an effective solution that can help in the reduction of insects and pests in a playing area or stadium.

Overview In any given sports event, player safety is extremely crucial. Moreover, if the players are not comfortable, focusing on the game becomes challenging. Lawn pests are extremely frugal and evenly found in most of the playing areas or stadiums. They may not attack humans but they can cause a disruption. Flies and crickets are some of the insects that live on small grasses which are found on stadiums and playing areas. Apart from them, many other small insects and pests are present in the ground which can cause infections to players on the ground. Thus, the use of Propoxur is safe in eliminating pests and insects. The white crystalline powder is derived from chloride and sodium azide which is quite beneficial in killing small pests and insects.

Role of Propoxur in Controlling the pests and insects Yet another name given to Propoxur is Baygon which is highly usable in modern households and is used to kill mosquitoes and cockroaches. The chemical is highly potent for any small insects or pests. It attacks the lungs of the insect and ultimately leads to death. The powerful combination of chloride and sodium immediately reacts in the body of the insect making them null.

Many times, the mosquitoes are challenging for the spectators as they silently sit on shallow grass, and upon the activity on the grass, they tend to fly and attack. This can lead to diseases such as malaria and dengue as they act as vectors of disease transport. Thus, utilizing Propoxur can be beneficial in eliminating mosquitoes. Thus, the use of Propoxur in maintaining a pest-free surrounding is quite essential.

Player safety is also quite essential as they are closer to the ground and are directly touching the grass. Hence, Propoxur can be beneficial in eliminating pests and other small insects which can cause serious diseases and can also lead to immense health challenges. Propoxur releases a stinky substance that harms the insects and pests through their cardiovascular system leading to their death instantly. Moreover, the effect is quite long-lasting allowing safety for the players and the audiences visiting the auditorium or the playing area.

Propoxur is found in different varieties making it one of the most suitable chemicals to use. Powders, liquids, and baits are some of the forms of Propoxur available which are equally effective. Liquid forms can be used in the playing area which will keep a resisting odor. Powder substances can be helpful in sprinkling it over the playing area which further eliminates the entry and exit of insects and pests.

Bacteriostatic Water in Veterinary Medicine: How It’s Used for Animal Care

In the field of veterinary medicine, bacteriostatic water is widely used for reconstituting and diluting medications administered to animals. The need for sterile solutions in veterinary care is just as crucial as in human healthcare, especially when it comes to delivering injectable medications.

What is Bacteriostatic Water?

Bacteriostatic water for injection is sterile water that contains a small amount of benzyl alcohol, which acts as a preservative to prevent bacterial growth. This makes bacteriostatic water ideal for multi-dose vials, where medications might need to be used over time. The bacteriostatic property ensures that the water remains free of bacterial contamination between uses, allowing safe administration of medications during extended treatment periods.

Veterinary professionals often use bacteriostatic water for reconstituting powdered medications and diluting drugs that are too concentrated for direct injection.

Applications of Bacteriostatic Water in Veterinary Medicine

Medication Reconstitution: Many medications in veterinary care, particularly vaccines and antibiotics, come in powdered form. Bacteriostatic water for injection is used to dissolve these medications, ensuring that they remain sterile for repeated doses.

Safe Dilution for Precise Dosing: Some medications require dilution for accurate dosing, especially when treating smaller animals. Bacteriostatic water allows veterinarians to dilute medications without compromising the sterility of the solution.

Repeat Injections: Bacteriostatic water is particularly useful for medications that need to be administered over several days or weeks. Since it contains a preservative, it prevents bacterial growth in the vial, making it safe for multiple injections.

Bacteriostatic Saline and Bacteriostatic Sodium Chloride are also commonly used in veterinary practices for dilution and reconstitution of medications, especially when saline is required instead of plain water. These solutions provide the added benefit of preventing bacterial contamination in multi-dose vials.

The Importance of Using High-Quality Solutions in Veterinary Care

The use of low-quality or non-sterile solutions in veterinary care can lead to adverse health outcomes for animals, including infections, drug ineffectiveness, and longer recovery times. For these reasons, veterinarians rely on trusted suppliers like Bacteriostatic Water Australia to provide high-quality bacteriostatic water and related solutions. Bacteriostatic Water Australia is a reputable provider of medical-grade solutions that meet the strict standards required for safe use in both human and animal care.

Sterile Water vs. Bacteriostatic Water: Key Differences and When to Use Each

Understanding the difference between sterile water and bacteriostatic water is important for medical professionals and veterinarians alike. While both are used to dilute and administer medications, they have distinct properties and applications:

Sterile Water: Contains no preservatives and is used for single-dose administration. It’s ideal for IV therapy and situations where the risk of bacterial growth is minimal, or the water will be used immediately.

Bacteriostatic Water: Contains a preservative (benzyl alcohol) that inhibits bacterial growth, making it suitable for multi-dose vials and prolonged treatments. It is often used in veterinary settings and in multi-dose human medications that require repeated injections.

Both solutions are indispensable in medical and veterinary settings, but choosing the correct one depends on the specific treatment needs, dosing schedule, and whether the solution will be used for a single injection or over multiple days.

Conclusion

In both human and veterinary healthcare, the quality and sterility of water used for injections, dilutions, and reconstitution of medications are paramount. Whether it’s sterile water used in IV therapy or bacteriostatic water for injection employed in veterinary medicine, the importance of purity and safety cannot be overstated.By using high-quality products like those provided by Bacteriostatic Water Australia, healthcare providers and veterinarians can ensure the best outcomes for their patients. Whether you’re treating an animal or a human patient, understanding when to use sterile water, bacteriostatic saline, or bacteriostatic sodium chloride is key to ensuring safe and effective treatment.
