Typical rat poison bait station (Germany, 2010) Rodenticides are chemicals made and sold for the purpose of killing rodents.While commonly referred to as "rat poison", rodenticides are also used to kill mice, woodchucks, chipmunks, porcupines, nutria, beavers, [1] and voles.
Nicotine-containing products are sometimes used for the performance-enhancing effects of nicotine on cognition. [58] A 2010 meta-analysis of 41 double-blind , placebo -controlled studies concluded that nicotine or smoking had significant positive effects on aspects of fine motor abilities, alerting and orienting attention, and episodic and ...
CMC powder is widely used in the ice cream industry, to make ice creams without churning or extremely low temperatures, thereby eliminating the need for conventional churners or salt ice mixes. [23] CMC is used in baking breads and cakes. The use of CMC gives the loaf an improved quality at a reduced cost by reducing the need for fat.
Tetramethylenedisulfotetramine (TETS) is an organic compound used as a rodenticide (rat poison). [2] It is an odorless, tasteless white powder that is slightly soluble in water, DMSO and acetone, and insoluble in methanol and ethanol. It is a sulfamide derivative. It can be synthesized by reacting sulfamide with formaldehyde solution in ...
The median lethal dose (LD 50) is between 15 and 18 g/kg body weight in rats and mice, respectively, five times the LD 50 of table salt (3 g/kg in rats). The use of MSG as a food additive and the natural levels of glutamic acid in foods are not of toxic concern in humans. [ 20 ]
Warning label on a tube of rat poison containing bromadiolone on a dike of the Scheldt river in Steendorp, Belgium. Bromadiolone is a potent anticoagulant rodenticide.It is a second-generation 4-hydroxycoumarin derivative and vitamin K antagonist, often called a "super-warfarin" for its added potency and tendency to accumulate in the liver of the poisoned organism.
The poison is effectively transferred through milk of mothers to nursing mammalian infants. Treatment: Vitamin K reverses the anticoagulant effect of rodenticides over a period of 24 to 48 hours from initiation of therapy.
It is also unknown if adding glucocorticoid with cyclophosphamide to the standard care has unwanted side effects such as increasing the risk of infection. [40] Oxygen should not be administered unless SpO 2 levels are below 92%, as high concentrations of oxygen intensify the toxic effects. [43] [44] Death may occur up to 30 days after ingestion.
