Cyanide Poison

Let's start by understanding exactly how cyanide kills you. In simple terms, cyanide prevents cells from using oxygen to make energy molecules.

The cyanide ion, CN-, binds to the iron atom in cytochrome C oxidase in the mitochondria of cells. It acts as an irreversible enzyme inhibitor, preventing cytochrome C oxidase from doing its job, which is to transport electrons to oxygen in the electron transport chain of aerobic cellular respiration. Now unable to use oxygen, the mitochondria can't produce the energy carrier adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Tissues that require this form of energy, such as heart, muscle cells, and nerve cells, quickly expend all their energy and start to die. When a large enough number of critical cells die, you expire as well. Death usually results from respiratory or heart failure.

Immediate aymptoms include headaches, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, lack of coordination, and rapid heart rate. Long exposure symptoms include unconsciousness, convulsions, respiratory failure, coma and death.

A person exposed to cyanide may have cherry-red skin from high oxygen levels, or dark blue coloring, from Prussian blue (iron-binding to the cyanide ion). In addition to this, skin and body fluids may give off an almond odor.

The antidotes for cyanide include sodium nitrite, hydroxocobalamin, and sodium thiosulfate.

A high dose of inhaled cyanide is lethal too quickly for any treatment to take effect, but ingested cyanide or lower doses of inhaled cyanide may be countered by administering antidotes that detoxify cyanide or bind to it. For example, hydroxocobalamin, natural vitamin B12, reacts with cyanide to form cyanocobalamin, which leaves the body in urine.

These antidotes are administrated via injection, or IV infusion.

Cyanide is actually a lot more common than you'd think. It's in pesticides, fumigants, plastics, and electroplating, among other things. However, not all cyanide are so poisonous. Sodium cyanide (NaCN), potassium cyanide (KCN), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), and cyanogen chloride (CNCl) are lethal, but thousands of compounds called nitriles contain the cyanide group, yet aren't as toxic. They still aren't terribly good for you, so I wouldn't go around ingesting other cyanide compounds, but they're not quite as dangerous as the lethal kind.

Thank you for reading, have a lovely day :)

MOON 6 - Erm oops I forgot this is when I started doing more than just 1 page per update so this is a repost with all of them added in. Once again I forgot moon 5 so it skips from 4 to 6

I just realized something. When Lyreth is scared of the idea at being questioned by Nasuada’s interrogators, I don’t think he was scared of being a political prisoner. I think he was scared of dying the same way Sarros did.

“He started to thrash, drumming his heels against the floor. Yellow foam bubbled at the corners of his mouth… his voice dried off into a hoarse croak, and with one final jerk, he fell still.” pg 45

Basically, dying of magical cyanide when being interrogated about the Draumars. Doesn’t sound too appealing.

Nixie…you *do* remember the fight, right? Think hard, what’s the last thing you remember before waking up?

Yeah.... Those jerks managed to trap me in a room I couldn't get out of.... then this gas started filling up the room, and I had trouble using my powers to get it away from me.... It felt like I was breathing in bitter almonds, if that makes any sense. My chest had become a lot tighter, and it was really hard to breathe.... then I just passed out and woke up in a bed somewhere else...

[a video is attached. from the date near the bottom, it seems pretty old. as soon as it starts rolling, the sound of dub yelling is heard, along with a few startled squeaks from cyanide. they appear to be in the tower, and hes yelling at the corrupted hero. eventually, his anger escalates to trying to grab at her, and accidently pushing her small body away hard enough for them to fly at a wall. crack. a glitchy yelp. she weakly gets up, a dazed, hurt look on her screen as a large crack runs across the right side. shes just barely able to levitate. the video ends.]

Every day I am angry that I can't just go to my local apothecary and purchase laudanum.
