In mice the elimination of FB 1 is very rapid, but in humans it could be much slower considering their body weight. [6] There are several possible pathways that cause toxic effects of Fumonisin B 1. Most toxic effects are due to altered sphingolipid metabolism by inhibition of ceramide synthase. Production of reactive oxygen species could occur.
Amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) is an illness caused by consumption of shellfish that contain the marine biotoxin called domoic acid. [1] In mammals, including humans, domoic acid acts as a neurotoxin, causing permanent short-term memory loss, brain damage, and death in severe cases.
Sinsemilla cannabis is a cultivation technique, so it should not be confused with skunk, which refers to strains with a high percentage of THC, of up to 34% THC content. [6] The expression sinsemilla is practically obsolete since feminized seeds emerged in the 1990s, seeds genetically modified to only sprout females.
The primary antidote to brodifacoum poisoning is immediate administration of vitamin K 1 (dosage for humans: initially slow intravenous injections of 10–25 mg repeated at 3–6 hours until normalisation of the prothrombin time; then 10 mg orally four times daily as a "maintenance dose"). It is an extremely effective antidote, provided the ...
These go under names including "Kyushin", "Chan Su" (marketed as a painkiller, [8] topical anesthetic or cardiac treatment [9]), "Rockhard" and "Love Stone" (marketed as aphrodisiacs). [8] "Chan Su" (literally "toad venom") is often adulterated with standard painkillers, such as paracetamol, promethazine and diclofenac. It may be ingested or ...
Diphenadione is a vitamin K antagonist that has anticoagulant effects and is used as a rodenticide against rats, mice, voles, ground squirrels and other rodents. The chemical compound is an anti-coagulant with active half-life longer than warfarin and other synthetic 1,3-indandione anticoagulants.
The best known of these strains is O157:H7, but non-O157 strains cause an estimated 36,000 [citation needed] illnesses, 1,000 hospitalizations and 30 deaths in the United States yearly. [8] Food safety specialists recognize "Big Six" strains: O26; O45; O103; O111; O121; and O145. [8] A 2011 outbreak in Germany was caused by another STEC, O104 ...
It became apparent that a recent treatment of the algal bloom with copper sulfate caused lysis of the algal cells, releasing a toxin into the water. [5] A study of the dam revealed that periodic blooms of algae were caused predominantly by three strains of cyanobacteria : two of the genus Anabaena , and Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii ...
