A few days ago, I heard that my friend accidentally sprayed paraquat into his mouth when he went to spray medicine on his orchard. I'm very worried. This kind of medicine is very toxic. If it is poisoned, there will be no antidote and life will be in danger. Let's take a look at the following.

How long can paraquat poisoning live

First: as the name suggests, paraquat is a kind of pesticide that can quickly kill weeds. It is extremely toxic to human body, and there is no specific antidote at present. The mortality rate of poisoning after taking it by mistake is very high. At present, it has been banned from production and use in many countries, and our country has also strictly banned the production and use since July 1, 2014.

Second: body contact with paraquat will also appear toxic reactions, such as dizziness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, drooling, sweating, blurred vision, etc. Therefore, in addition to seeing a doctor after contacting the poison, the skin should be cleaned immediately. After bathing, the clothes should be changed. The clothes contaminated with the poison should be disposed of by burning or burying immediately, so as to avoid secondary poisoning pollution.

Third: if the amount of poisoning is small, but there is only a little abnormal reaction, immediate rescue, there will be no life-threatening, rescue should be as early as possible to use alkaline liquid, full gastric lavage, emesis, catharsis and other measures. But if it's acute poisoning, and if it's moderate to large, it may directly lead to death.

matters needing attention

After paraquat poisoning, even if immediate measures are taken, life is no longer in danger, but this drug will cause varying degrees of damage to the patient's liver, so after treatment, it is necessary to regularly monitor liver and kidney function, early detection of abnormalities, and timely treatment. Minimize the damage to the body.
