Poisoning with table and apple cider vinegar

Often poisoning with vinegar is accompanied by other pathological processes, in particular, secondary inflammatory processes in the field of various organs and systems. In the lungs there is inflammation, exudates. A frequent complication of poisoning is tracheobronchitis, bronchitis, pneumonia. The brain suffers, psychoses develop. The results of the tests indicate a strong intoxication of the body. Less pronounced pathological processes when vinegar hits the skin. In this case, a local allergic reaction, irritation develops. A characteristic feature is the presence of urea, hemoglobin, protein in the urine and blood. In severe conditions, markers of damage to the kidneys, liver, and heart appear.

Poisoning with table vinegar

Table vinegar becomes a frequent cause of poisoning. In most cases, the cause of poisoning is the occasional consumption of vinegar, in which it is confused with other liquids. Poisoning is dangerous because the acetic essence penetrates the body and is able to have a systemic effect on it. In this case, a common inflammatory process develops, internal organs are affected, inflammation develops. Intoxication is increasing and may eventually end with severe damage to the liver, kidneys, heart muscle. A frequent consequence is the defeat of the brain.

For the production of table vinegar use synthetic raw materials other than cooking and everyday life, it has found wide application in the pharmaceutical industry, in the production of various substances and medicines, disinfectants. It is widely used in diagnostics and in laboratory conditions. Sometimes it is also used as an effective medicinal product, in particular, for colds, migraine headaches, diarrhea disorders and temperature normalization.

Many have found it to use to reduce appetite while dieting, to cleanse the body. It is established that vinegar can promote the cure of gynecological diseases, impotence in men. In adolescents, he often reduces libido. Thus, the people widely and practically uncontrolled use this tool everywhere, which often becomes a cause of poisoning. If you use it often, you can develop a chronic pathological disease, which is most often associated with chemical damage to the esophagus, inflammation of the stomach under the influence of acetic essence. Ulcers are often formed. As blood circulation sharply decreases and blood clotting function is violated, there can be a sharp opening of the bleeding.

There may be small erosions, which also often and strongly bleed. The use of a large amount of vinegar essence can lead to death. Therefore, it is important to provide first aid in a timely manner, the essence of which is to neutralize vinegar as soon as possible and remove it from the body. After that, rehabilitation and symptomatic therapy is already under way.

Poisoning with apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar differs from table vinegar in that it is made on the basis of natural ingredients. In this case, the product necessarily contains an extract of natural alcohol. The composition of apple cider vinegar includes many different components that can have both a positive and negative effects on the body. Apple cider vinegar has found wide application in cooking as a flavoring, flavoring, fixative.

It significantly improves the taste of any product. Also used in cosmetology, has therapeutic and preventive effects. At the same time, if you exceed the recommended dosage, from a useful substance, it can turn into a component that destroys the basic structures of the body, harms, disrupts the normal functioning of the basic systems. May cause serious poisoning.

Symptoms of the poisoning with table and apple cider vinegar

The first sign of poisoning with apple cider vinegar is the strongest intoxication of the body, which develops when a large amount of vinegar enters the body. In most cases, poisoning is random. Less often - there are cases of deliberate poisoning with suicidal goals. In any case, the victim needs urgent medical assistance.

First of all, it is important to neutralize the action of the substance. To do this, you must immediately recognize which substance caused the poisoning. So, the specific symptoms that indicate poisoning is apple cider vinegar, is the suddenness of manifestation of all the main symptoms. Develops a sharp toxicosis, in which a person feels sick, develops vomiting, toxemia. Diarrhea can also develop less often. In this case, there is a sharp headache, which is accompanied by spasm of the brain, dizziness, weakness, development of dyspnea, a sense of lack of air.

Depending on the amount of ingested matter, the degree of symptoms of poisoning with vinegar can vary widely. So, with mild degree of damage, only nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, severe sweating, headache, dizziness can develop.

With an average degree of severity of poisoning, confusion may occur, a person embraces a tremor, a strong sweating, a sharp pain in the stomach. If a person has an ulcer or erosion, bleeding can develop which is difficult to stop (due to the fact that the composition and function of the blood changes under the influence of vinegar). Almost always, there is no appetite, heart palpitations become more frequent, breathing becomes more complicated.

There is development of concomitant diseases, multiple pathologies of internal organs develop. Often there is a poisoning of the body, against which a decline in immunity develops. Also sharply reduced the resistance of the organism, the degree of its reactivity to the influence of external factors is increased. In this case, an infection may join, a secondary pathology may develop. Often there are complications, exacerbations of chronic diseases. All this complicates recovery and requires additional measures to overcome the symptoms.

When severe poisoning occurs, a sharp violation of cerebral circulation occurs, resulting in spasm, breathing becomes more complicated, blood function is impaired. Multiple pathology of the internal organs can occur, resulting from the action of the toxin, as well as circulatory disorders. Also, the lack of oxygen in the tissues and the overabundance of processed foods and carbon dioxide (which results from intoxication and spasm of blood vessels) negatively affects. A severe chemical burn can develop, which only aggravates the situation.

A dangerous sign is a decrease in daily diuresis, which leads to a violation of kidney function, stagnation of fluid in the body, a further increase in the symptoms of intoxication. In this case, black feces usually appear, which indicates a violation of peristalsis and intestinal motility, as well as a decrease in the activity of enzymes. Develops a tachycardia that can grow out of the normal functioning of the heart muscle, up to the development of heart failure. The function of swallowing, digestion of food is significantly impaired. There is profuse salivation.

Stages

Conditionally, we can distinguish several stages of poisoning with vinegar. This is an easy, medium and severe stage.

The first stage - acute, is observed from the moment when the acetic essence got inside the body, or damaged the mucous membrane, the skin. In this case, the reaction can go in two ways - slow and immediate. With an immediate reaction, a rapid increase in heart rate occurs, the pulse increases, blood pressure rises, symptoms of intoxication appear, which are often accompanied by kidney, liver, gastric and intestinal disorders, nausea, vomiting. At the same time the condition sharply worsens and the second stage sharply comes, which is accompanied by the strongest intoxication and can lead to irreversible consequences. The person at this time usually loses consciousness, he develops dyspeptic disorders, there is a headache, nausea, dizziness.

If a person provides timely assistance, then the third stage may not occur. A person will gradually recover, recover. If the first aid is not provided, the poison will be absorbed into the body. The consequences can be unpredictable. Most often, the third, most dangerous stage is developing. It is accompanied by damage to the brain, liver, kidneys, various internal organs. In the blood there are also signs of intoxication. In particular, a person begins to feel a constant lack of oxygen, he develops anemia, there is a cyanotic skin. The brain, internal organs do not receive the necessary amount of oxygen, which is accompanied by hypoxia - oxygen starvation. Against the backdrop of lack of oxygen, hypercapnia develops - a condition in which the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood sharply increases. At the same time, internal organs suffer, because carbon dioxide and metabolic products stop appearing outside, poison the body, thereby only exacerbating the situation and delaying the intoxication process.

Gradually, the erythrocytes are destroyed, an excessive amount of free hemoglobin is released into the blood, which causes an additional burden on the body, causing severe blood diseases and bone marrow lesions.

Somewhat differently the picture develops at the slowed reaction or damage by vinegar of integuments or mucous membranes. With a delayed type of reaction, local allergic, hemorrhagic and other reactions usually develop at this stage. With external damage, this stage can last about a week, and ultimately, manifests itself in the form of a chemical burn that tends to constant progression.

This condition can be dangerous if the mucous membranes are damaged, for example, if ingested. Most often, the walls of the esophagus are affected. In this case, acute corrosive esophagitis is observed, which is characterized by various types of damage, necrotic processes and wall lesions. In this case, both the mucous membrane and internal, deeper layers are damaged. Necrosis and inflammatory processes in the esophagus can have a different degree of severity of the pathological process, which is determined by the amount and concentration of the substance that got inside. The defeat of the esophagus can also be conditionally divided into three stages.

In the second week after getting the acetic essence, the condition, at first glance, is normalized. But you should not flatter yourself, for this is a period when pathological processes take place inside cells and are rather hidden. The person at this time feels well enough, this is the stage of imaginary well-being, after which the deterioration of the condition takes a sharp turn.

Deterioration is accompanied by a sharp rejection of damaged tissue, the formation of epithelial or granulation tissue in its place. It replaces the dead layers of the epithelium. Gradually, there is a replacement for deeper layers, which also die off. All this leads to the fact that the dead tissue is not capable of performing its function. Accordingly, the functional capacity of the body is sharply reduced, the ability to recover is lost.

The more tissue was replaced, the higher the probability of death or disability, which is due to the limitation of many functions. A greater danger lies in the rejection of the mucous membranes. This is due to the fact that the risk of bleeding, infection with infectious agents increases dramatically. Other pathological processes also develop.

The degree of severity of such lesions depends, first of all, on the depth of the lesion. Secondary or primary bleeding may open, which is usually difficult to recover because changes occur at the level of the blood and the organs of the hematopoiesis. So, under the influence of vinegar, blood coagulability decreases, the amount and level of erythrocytes, platelets in the blood decreases. Also appears a large amount of heparin, which makes the blood even more liquid, reduces the amount of prothrombin factor and fibrinogen, which are responsible for the processes of blood clotting.

The third stage usually makes itself felt by a sharp deterioration in the person's well-being. In fact, all those latent processes that simply flowed in the body were not apparent. Now defeat of the mucous membrane and necrosis make themselves felt by the strongest pains, and the lack of oxygen is accompanied by a feeling of lack of strength, yellowing or blueness of the skin, oxygen starvation of the brain. As a result, a person has constant headaches, migraines, and body temperature rises.

There may be more serious manifestations of intoxication, for example, inflammation of the affected mucosa, attachment of infection, spasm and disturbance of metabolic processes, elimination of toxic substances from the body. In this case, convulsions appear, a person may lose consciousness, coma, paralysis, stroke and brain or kidney damage may develop.

As a rule, such serious lesions are peculiar to the fourth stage, and they are practically irreversible. Often the fourth stage comes immediately after the second, bypassing the third. Often, the fifth stage is death, less chronic pathology develops, which is accompanied by severe renal and cardiac pathologies, up to the development of insufficiency.

Easy vinegar poisoning

Poisoning can be of three stages. At a slight stage, acetic essence, getting into the body, provokes minimal damage. In this case, most often a chemical burn occurs, which is easily recovered with the use of special therapy. Severe systemic lesions are usually not observed. Only the digestive process can be disturbed. Most often there is a dyspeptic syndrome. In this case, there is a loss of fluid, edema may develop, hyperemia of soft tissues.

The danger of this condition is that absolutely any organs and systems, including the lungs and the brain, can undergo edema, and this already carries a mortal danger. Often, mild poisoning is accompanied by bleeding, as the permeability of small vessels is greatly increased and the probability of blood transfusion into the more liquid stage is reduced, during which the blood loses its ability to coagulate. Also, the walls of the vessels lose their elasticity, resulting in heavy bleeding, intense pain.

Light poisoning can be accompanied by minor bleeding, headache, mild muscle spasms, convulsions, twitchings. There may be vomiting with impurities of blood. Also in the mouth there is an unpleasant smell and taste, which is difficult to recognize and accurately describe. A spasm of the respiratory tract can develop, resulting in shortness of breath, palpitations and headache. There may be skin rashes that spread fairly quickly over the skin. Erosion of mucous membranes can also develop.

Lethal poisoning with vinegar

To death from poisoning with vinegar, it is necessary that it got into the body at least 70 ml. Although some researchers believe that a lethal dose should be considered approximately 250 ml. There are cases when all doses, which are in the lower range (below 250 ml), do not cause death, nevertheless caused serious disorders in the brain and spinal cord, as a result of which the body became deprived of protection, exposed to toxin. At the same time, the risk of developing paralysis and complete disability is great.

Also, the lethal dosage is determined by the characteristics of the substance that penetrates the body. If it got in its purest form, then the lethal dose would be 20-40 ml. If you get a table vinegar, it will require at least 200 ml. In the case of diluted or malic, toxicosis occurs when 50-80 ml is ingested.

The cause of death in poisoning are severe irreversible violations of kidney and liver, a violation of the composition and function of blood, the destruction of red blood cells and the release of free hemoglobin into the blood. Also, the cause of death can be a sharp violation of the integrity of the walls of blood vessels. This may be a consequence of the usual rupture, thinning, erosion, disturbance of permeability of small capillaries. Suffer the walls of blood vessels, both large arteries and small capillaries.

Death can also occur as a result of pain shock, which accompanies all pathological changes taking place in the body. The maximum degree of pain syndrome is observed when the walls of the esophagus and stomach are damaged. The large loss of blood, the release of lymph from the body, excessive fluid retention in the body, observed against the background of increased edema, can also cause death. No less dangerous and plaques that fill the bloodstream can cause blockage of blood vessels. Often there is a breakdown of cellular structures. After this, it is often impossible to stop pathology, death occurs.

Complications and consequences

There may be such dangerous complications as bradycardia, renal and hepatic insufficiency, swelling of the throat, larynx, bronchi. With severe pathologies and increasing intoxication, pulmonary edema can occur, which often becomes a cause of suffocation. In addition, renal and hepatic insufficiency develops, there is a violation of cardiac activity. Bloody vomiting may develop, indicating a profuse bleeding caused by mucosal damage or the development of a sharp liver pathology. The danger lies in the fact that a sharp drop in blood pressure may occur. Often there is a loss of consciousness, the development of pain shock. A person may have psychomotor irritation, or, on the contrary, a retardation of reaction.

Diagnostics of the poisoning with table and apple cider vinegar

The formula of blood appears in a peculiar way. So, the clinical analysis of blood can detect all the signs of acute intoxication. This significantly increases the ESR, the ratio of different blood cells varies. The number of erythrocytes increases sharply. In the blood, you can find an increased content of hemoglobin and protein, which indicates the resolution of red blood cells and the release of free hemoglobin into the blood.

Also in the clinical analysis of blood, an increased number of leukocytes is found. The number of lymphocytes in the blood increases, which indicates the development of the inflammatory process. Most often, it is either a local inflammation that occurs on the basis of a primary lesion of the tissues, a burn of the mucous membranes, or a secondary inflammatory phenomenon that develops on the basis of the systemic action of toxins penetrating the blood and a general decrease in immunity.

Often this pathology is confused with a viral disease, or an infection that has joined. To clarify the data, you can designate virological research methods, immunogram. This will allow assessing the state of immunity, the composition of blood, assess the effect of acetic essence on the body, assess the severity of the pathological process.

The increased number of eosinophils indicates the development of an allergic reaction, increased sensitization of the body, excessive production of histamine and tissue mediators, basophils. This suggests that the symptoms of intoxication are progressing in the body, an allergic reaction develops, the condition continues to deteriorate. Inflammation of other organs and systems may occur, in particular, complications may occur on the heart, liver and kidneys. If such a pattern of blood is detected, intensive care should be given as soon as possible to protect the cardiovascular system, kidneys, liver, and the normalization of blood circulation.

An increased number of lymphocytes and eosinophils may indicate not only a strong intoxication of the body, but also other adverse reactions not associated with the effects of vinegar. This can serve as an important indication for the study of sensitivity to allergens. In most cases, scarification samples are used, as well as general and specific analysis for immunoglobulin E, which is an indicator of allergy.

Quite informative is the analysis of the level of immunoglobulins A, G, which indicate the state of local immunity of the mucous membranes. This can be the marker by which the condition of the mucous membranes is determined, the degree of chemical burn.

Treatment of the poisoning with table and apple cider vinegar

In any case, regardless of severity, the first aid algorithm is always one. Once we have recognized the poisoning with apple cider vinegar, we need to call an ambulance. Then it is necessary to neutralize the action of the substance, to bring it out. To do this, give a generous drink, induce vomiting.

Upon the arrival of an ambulance, the patient must be hospitalized. In a hospital, the patient is obligated to wash the stomach, to clean water. After that, they stabilize vital indicators, control them. It is important to ensure that there is no danger to life. After the threat has passed, it is necessary to switch to pathogenetic or symptomatic treatment, and reduce the consequences of poisoning. Restorative therapy is mandatory.
