What are the symptoms?
Antifreeze poisoning can happen gradually over several hours, so you may not have symptoms immediately after ingesting the chemical. If you feel fine, you may even brush off the incident as nothing more than a close call. But the situation isn’t that simple.

As your body absorbs or metabolizes antifreeze, the chemical is converted into other toxic substances such as:

• glycolaldehyde
• glycolic acid
• glyoxylic acid
• acetone
• formaldehyde

Your body slowly begins to react to the antifreeze in your system. The time it takes for the first symptom to appear varies. It depends on the amount swallowed.

The earliest symptoms can develop 30 minutes to 12 hours after ingestion, with the severest symptoms starting about 12 hours after ingestion, according to the ATSDR. Early symptoms of antifreeze poisoning may include an inebriated feeling. Other early symptoms include:

• headache
• fatigue
• lack of coordination
• grogginess
• slurred speech
• nausea
• vomiting

As your body continues to break down the antifreeze over the next several hours, the chemical can interfere with your kidney, lung, brain, and nervous system function. Organ damage can occur 24 to 72 hours after ingestion.

You may also develop:

• rapid breathing
• an inability to urinate
• rapid heartbeat
• convulsions

It’s possible to lose consciousness and fall into a coma.

 

NakedCity, is your name taken by chance from an old KISS song??

 

No, but from music still... An old John Zorn project.

 

"An antidote is the first line of treatment for antifreeze poisoning. These include either fomepizole (Antizol) or ethanol. Both drugs can reverse the effects of the poison and prevent further problems, such as permanent organ damage."

 

that;s a really good way to clear a ton of walkers.

 

So they wanted to get the ethanol flowing out of the truck, they get the ethanol flowing out of the truck, but it's lost? What a bunch of clowns. Too bad Dorie's with them, otherwise I'd be very ok with all of them just rotting and die there.

 

all they have to do is put the gas cans under where the Ethanol is leaking from the truck

 

Morgan saves the day

 

Charlie is guzzling down the beer

 

come on Morgan, please FINALLY kill her

 

where is the intrigue and mystery you are supposed to have for a season finale? this was such a let down like the whole 2nd half of this season

 

that ending.......

 

the anti freeze "cure" after DAYS!

 

Fear is such a bad show lol that season finale sums up how bad it is. Last season was so exciting and then they just completely dropped the ball this season. Oh well at least the real walking dead is back next weekend

 

I have to say that if Morgan spent days telling me about this great place in Virginia and then when we finally had all our ducks in a row and were able to start heading there he said "nahhhh...let's stay at this here factory", i'd be you "youuuuu dirrty rat.......you dirty stinking mother f*cking rat, there is NOTHING in Virginia!" lol

 

To borrow a title from Season 4 of TWD, Fear is "Too Far Gone" now.

 

Pfffffttt!!!!
