A 24-year-old man was poisoned with paraquat because he wanted to stop drinking half a bottle of paraquat and, while regretting it, the hospital did not have any means to treat him for 10 days after he died of regret; a 27-year-old man was stolen from his pig's money and drank half a bottle of paraquat after 10 days without any medicine; and a 13-year-old girl in henan died after having had an unpleasant affair with her classmates and drank half a bottle of paraquat, waiting to die four days later, and his family cried for “a change in his lungs in an hour”。
After reading these shocking cases, many people must have felt the horrors of paraquat
A lot of people say that paraquat is the water of death, and that it gives you time to regret, but it does not give you the chance to live, that if you drink more than five milligrams, you can die, and you can calculate the time you left。
Why is paraquat so scary? Is there no modern medicine? Today, let's find out。
What's paraquat
Paraquat is a broad-spectral herbicide, consisting mainly of glyphosate, with an irritating odour, a very rapid herbicide, and as long as the green plant remains alive, it usually starts to die in about two hours (better in the sky) and dies in three or four days。
Because paraquat is more toxic to humans and there are no special effects antidotes, it is now banned and severely restricted by more than 20 countries once it is oral, with even 95 per cent mortality。
The fact that the death rate of paraquat on the internet is as high as 90 per cent is not an exaggeration, especially when it is directly intoxicated and more toxic. Moreover, paraquat can also react with poisoning through inhalation and dermal exposure。
Paraquat is a very dangerous chemical substance with symptoms of intoxication, including nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, convulsions, etc., which can cause kidney failure, cardiac muscle damage, liver damage, etc., in serious cases。
Why is paraquat so scary
In day 1-2, even though the mouth starts to burst and bleed, the mouth also has a strong burn. Your relatives and friends have come to you. You think you've recovered your life this time, and you're beginning to be glad that you're still alive and that you're in love。
On the third to fourth day, serious symptoms began to occur, as did the upper digestive ulcers, the fall of the oesophagus membranes, and the bladder irritation. Looks like you're starting to get scared。
On 5-6 days, the respiratory symptoms began to increase, breathing difficulties began, and organs began to fail, and you started asking the doctor to save yourself and to live。
Then the lung began fibrosis, the liver and kidney failure intensified, and although the patient was conscious, the symptoms of respiratory difficulties were increasing, and you had to wait for death and no one had the means。
The terrible thing about paraquat is that it erodes your nervous system, your respiratory system, your circulatory system, your digestive system, and so on, causing multi-system failure, which is irreversible and can only be obtained through transplantation。
Red “fish-killing” through the internet, because of insults from customers and fathers, he drank iced tea mixed with paraquat. After drinking, he regretted and began to eat wildly and vomit, after 14 days of rescue, and although he had taken a life, fibrosis of his lungs was irreversible for life, and the future depended on medicine for life。
He was lucky, because before he drank paraquat, he had had a fried noodles with five eggs, had iced tea with paraquat, and most importantly, he had “earthed” himself。
As the poisoning mechanisms of paraquat have not yet been studied and there are no clinical effects, treatment can only be treated on the basis of symptoms once paraquat has been poisoned, but this can only reduce mortality rates and delay death times, making it difficult to achieve a higher cure rate。
Is it hard to live with paraquat
Although paraquat has a mortality rate of less than 100 per cent, many conditions are required to be met to be able to rescue it, which is generally more relevant than:
One is intake. Paraquat has a lethal mass of 5-10 ml, but once a bottle of caps is needed, it can reach 5 ml, and a bottle of 200 ml to 5,000 ml。
The second is medical time. Because paraquat poisoning does not occur immediately, many people are unaware of the danger, and after more than an hour, paraquat enters the body with blood, which is difficult to cure。
The third is treatment technology. The effects of treatment vary between different treatment programmes and technologies, most notably at very high cost。
Ms. Wang, 28 years old, drank a few doses of paraquat because of her conflict with her husband, spent $10,000 a day on treatment and 20 days on treatment to improve; 18-year-old girls in hebei’s brother-in-law’s poisoning case needed $1 million for lung transplantation alone。
What about paraquat poisoning
Once a suspected paraquat poisoning has been detected, it is necessary to call the emergency number immediately and to do so before the ambulance arrives:
Skin contact; understanding of taking off clothes that are in contact with paraquat, thoroughly washing skin and exposed hair with water and soap。
Contact glasses: immediately wash with liquid water for more than 15 minutes。
Drinking: immediate vomiting, feeding mud, maximizing diarrhoea, drinking some laxatives, etc。
Why is paraquat still on sale
In fact, since 2014, we have withdrawn the licence to produce paraquat and stopped the production of paraquat; since 2016 we have ceased the sale and use of paraquat in the country; and by 2020 we have completely banned its sale and use in the country for export only。
However, the price of paraquat is higher and market demand is higher. For profit, bad traders illegally add paraquat as a sexual component to other pesticides and continue selling under different packagings and names。
Furthermore, paraquat is cheaper and effective, and farmers are more willing to use it, as well as management gaps in remote areas, resulting in its constant prohibition。
Concluding remarks
So it is inevitable that paraquat is forbidden, because it has a very high death rate, and even if it can be treated in a timely manner, the chances of survival are rather remote, not to mention how sad it is to see one's life slowly passed away without being able to do anything
No matter what happens, do not have any bad ideas about your life, let alone do something stupid to make others take care of themselves, and only fear life is responsible for itself。
