What happens if you inject nicotine

I'm an author definitely not a criminal , writing a TV-script for a thriller, in which the victim gets killed by a high dose of liquid nicotine, injected into an apple Question: 1 Does anyone know if that works, after all?

Is it lethal? Or does the nicotine somehow dissolve in the apple? Neutral enough to swallow the bite? Subject: Re: How poisonous is liquid nicotine? Hello svenga: Thanks for the interesting, and disturbing question. Not a huge amount, but not a trace amount either. There is no way that that much poison would be able to be concentrated into a single bite of an apple. Any liquid would rapidly diffuse throughout much of the body of a piece of fruit.

What is the taste and smell of liquid nicotine? From there, the drink is flavored with numerous liqueurs in order to dilute its? Just because people can?

It is water soluble and has a pKa of 8. It is a bitter-tasting liquid" So, by all accounts, the stuff is nasty tasting and nasty smelling. Probably very noticable in apples, which are quite mild. So, even if the victim character doesn't notice the bad taste and smell, what happens after the first poison-laced bite? Also, you might think that these types of products are safer than cigarette smoke and then consume more of them. According to the Archives of Toxicology , 30 to 60 milligrams of nicotine is considered lethal in adults.

In theory, then, consuming a few e-cigarettes could be fatal. Using more than one nicotine-containing product can also increase your risk. Poisoning can happen when using cigarettes, e-cigarettes, or a a smoking cessation product at the same time.

When you think of nicotine poisoning, you might think of toxicity from inhaling smoke and vapors. However, exposure can also occur from skin contact and ingestion. Third-hand vapors from e-cigarettes can stick to clothing, carpet, and other fabrics. This can cause poisoning in people who then touch these materials. Children are the most vulnerable. People who work with nicotine-based products, such as in tobacco plants and harvesting fields, are also possibly at risk.

Treatment for nicotine poisoning depends on the severity and amount of exposure. It generally requires treatment at the hospital. A doctor may provide activated charcoal. When ingested, the charcoal binds with the nicotine and exits the body without further absorption in the blood. The hospital can also provide antidotes to help reverse the effects of the poisonous substance. Not only can the serum speed up healing, but it can also help eliminate scarring, hair loss, and signs of aging.

Use the treatment, and you can improve your quality of life, good health, and great looks. Kidal D.
