18 Hebei girl was poisoned by her brother-in-law paraquat. How high is the mortality rate of paraquat?

The mortality rate caused by paraquat can be as high as 100%, and most clinical knowledge is that respiratory failure is caused by lung injury. For this 18-year-old girl, because of drinking this paraquat, her lungs have been seriously damaged and she has respiratory failure. Paraquat is very toxic and will naturally cause serious damage to her liver function. After all, we all know that the liver is detoxified, but paraquat is a highly toxic substance. According to the corresponding research, 5~ 15 ml is enough to kill an adult. Because paraquat can lead to pulmonary fibrosis, serious abnormal liver function and even other complications, it is easy to lead to death.

The early symptoms of paraquat poisoning are mainly that it is very difficult to eat, because paraquat will cause great damage to our oral mucosa, and there will be some exudative ulcers, just like oral ulcers, so it is very difficult to eat, and then it will become very difficult to speak. After all, mushrooms can seriously damage our vocal cords and cause our voices to be very hoarse. If it is a little more serious, it will be swollen and painful tonsils and difficulty breathing.

If the patient can survive for 7 days, it will enter a very chronic stage, which will lead to pulmonary fibrosis or pulmonary inflammatory lesions, which is also very painful. After all, even if it is saved, the later rehabilitation and life will be greatly affected. According to the current treatment of paraquat poisoning, there is really no specific medicine. In routine treatment and neck treatment, generally speaking, it is oral vomiting and gastric lavage, and then some drugs are added for total intestinal digestion, and then symptomatic treatment.

In the absence of specific drugs at present, its mortality rate is really high, so everyone must pay attention to safety. Don't buy some highly toxic substances at home. Even if you buy highly toxic substances, you should put them away to avoid eating them by mistake.
