Paraquat (Paraquat), the most common trade name is Gramoxone (Gramoxone). It is a strong herbicide (herbicide) that kills weeds and has strong toxic effects on humans and animals. Most of the poisoning is caused by accidental or suicidal oral ingestion, but it can also be absorbed through the skin and respiratory poisoning to death. In recent years, we often encounter people from rural areas who drank paraquat on impulse due to emotional entanglement or other reasons, not knowing that this impulse often killed them! The lethal dose of paraquat for adults is about 5-20ml, which is the amount of one or two sips! Those who do not know the toxicity of paraquat or their families often think that it is not too much to drink and not fatal, and sometimes they do not send them to the hospital in time to rescue them and delay the valuable rescue time, if the amount of poison taken exceeds the lethal dose, even if they are rescued in time, most of the patients are difficult to be saved, and their families end up with a “financial and human” end, which makes the family members and the medical personnel who rescued them very happy. The family members and the medical staffs are very helpless! At present, there is no special rescue and treatment method for paraquat poisoning. Patients mostly die of pulmonary failure in the end, as the saying goes, “suffocating to death”, which is very painful. Therefore, we remind you that if you have paraquat and other herbicides at home, you must collect them in a place that is not easy to get them, and the best way to prevent paraquat poisoning is to avoid it! In addition, it is also recommended that manufacturers of paraquat should indicate in red letters that it is a “highly toxic pesticide” on the drug packaging to remind people that it is not only a herbicide, but also a highly toxic pesticide to human body!
