    Paraquat is the most toxic pesticide of pyridine herbicides, with a human absorption rate of around 5 to 15 and a lethal dose of about 30 to 50 mg/kg body weight. Oral administration of paraquat in doses exceeding toxic doses will be distributed in large quantities in all important organs and tissues of the body within 6-18 hours, which can cause myocardial damage and cause toxic myocarditis; This leads to multi-organ failure, and in severe cases, eventually death from lung failure.

    Paraquat is corrosive, and patients may experience burning sensation in the mouth and pharynx in the early stages. Most patients can have large ulcers of the mouth, glossopharynx and esophagus 2-3 days after taking the drug, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and some patients will have symptoms of blood in the stool, and severe liver damage and kidney failure can occur in about 1 week.

    Pulmonary symptoms will occur within 1-2 weeks, and patients with mild lung damage may present only with cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and chest pain; However, patients with more severe lung damage will have obvious dyspnea, which will be significantly worse after activity, and patients may have rapid heartbeat and cyanosis of the lips and face. If paraquat reaches 20 to 40 mg/kg body weight, it can progress to pulmonary fibrosis, leading to respiratory failure and death, usually in 2 to 3 weeks.

    If paraquat is absorbed into the body at more than 40 mg/kg body weight, the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, and lungs can be severely damaged, and the disease usually progresses rapidly, with most patients dying within 1 to 7 days of taking the drug.

    Paraquat should be induced immediately after ingestion or, if possible, with medical activated charcoal. The mechanism of action should be the adsorption of paraquat residues in the body to reduce the corrosion of internal organs. So if it's too late, it will also have a certain effect if you mix plant ash with water.

    Paraquat kills mainly by eroding internal organs, causing functional failure, especially to the lungs, and eventually suffocation.

    When it comes to paraquat, it's a love-hate story. Why? Although paraquat is a good herbicide, some people use it as a poison and drink a herbicide until it is discontinued.

    In addition, many people suffer from the dangers of paraquat, so many people are frightened when they hear about paraquat.

    What exactly is paraquat?

    Paraquat is known as paraly, and this group of substances is a colorless and odourless liquid. However, during production, in order to prevent people from ingesting paraquat, odouring agents and emetics were added to paraquat. This kind of herbicide is not only low cost, but also has a good contact killing effect and a certain systemic effect, because it can be quickly absorbed by the green tissue of the plant, and make it die for the Philippines, and will not cause corresponding harm to the roots of the plant and the environment.

    How toxic is paraquat?

    In fact, many people in China are poisoned by paraquat every year**, and if people accidentally eat paraquat for just a little bit, it will travel all over the body and cause substantial damage to the back organs. As far as medicine is concerned, there is no way to remove the toxicity of paraquat, and it is no exaggeration to say that if a person drinks a lethal dose of paraquat, it will give you a chance to regret it, but it will not give you a chance to survive.

    And over time, the toxicity slowly seeps into the lungs, eventually causing pulmonary fibrosis, and it can be said that people are suffocated to death. But in this series of processes, it can take a week, or even a month, to lead to death.

    Can a person eat vegetables sprayed with paraquat for a long time?

    Vegetables sprayed with paraquat over a long period of time do not have any effect on the body because there are corresponding amounts during the spraying process, and these amounts do not cause death. Secondly, paraquat is also water-soluble, and if washed with water, the toxicity disappears completely. Therefore, eating vegetables sprayed with paraquat for a long time is not harmful to the body.

  23. Anonymous users2024-01-22

    It's fine, because paraquat is a weed-control medicine that can be used when growing vegetables, as long as the vegetables are washed while they are being eaten.

  24. Anonymous users2024-01-21

    It's fine. As the vegetables grow, these toxins are slowly gone, and we clean them up when we buy them, so there is no paraquat in them.
