Strychnine nitrate is a neurotoxin that works by blocking the action of glycine, a neurotransmitter that inhibits the firing of neurons. This causes the neurons to fire uncontrollably, leading to muscle spasms and convulsions. Strychnine poisoning can be fatal, and there is no antidote.
The symptoms of strychnine poisoning typically start within minutes to hours of exposure. They include:
- Muscle spasms and contractions
- Convulsions
- Difficulty breathing
- Headache
- Nausea and vomiting
- Seizures
- Coma
- Death
If you think you or someone you know has been exposed to strychnine nitrate, call 911 immediately. There is no antidote for strychnine poisoning, but treatment can help to prevent death. Treatment typically involves supportive care, such as breathing assistance and controlling seizures.
Here are some safety precautions to take to avoid strychnine poisoning:
- Keep strychnine nitrate away from children and pets.
- Do not handle strychnine nitrate without gloves and eye protection.
- If strychnine nitrate gets on your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water.
- If strychnine nitrate gets in your eyes, flush them with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention immediately
