TIDBITS® AVOIDS POISON

• Competitive Prices • Sizes From 10x15, 10x20, 10x25

by Janet Spencer In the 1940s there were only 60 possible poisons that could be used to kill a person. Then came the chemical explosion, and by the mid-1970s there were some 5,000 poisons which could be combined in different ways to produce perhaps a quarter of a million different deadly doses. Come along with Tidbits as we avoid poisons!

BOTULISM • In a small town in Germany in 1735, thirteen people shared a sausage. A few hours later, they all became sick. Six died, and the other seven took months to recover. The strange illness was named after the Latin word for sausage— botulism.

• The botulism toxin is seven million times more powerful than cobra venom. One ounce, properly distributed, could wipe out everyone in the U.S. The botulism organism evolved on this planet some two billion years ago. At that time, there was no oxygen on Earth.

• Today botulism lives indefinitely as a dormant spore in air and dirt, surviving temperatures between absolute zero and boiling. When it finds the right conditions— plenty of food and an absence of oxygen— it multiplies, releasing toxins.

Deaths from botulism are particularly worrying for home canners. If a jar has not been heated high enough or long enough, the botulism organism will thrive.

HEALTH PAGE

THE FACTS BEHIND POISONS • A poison called saxitoxin found in contaminated seafood is so deadly that 2/10ths of 1 milligram, or 1/100th of a drop, can kill a full grown man through paralysis. HOW can such a small amount of a substance kill such a large organism? One way is through enzyme sabotage.

• An enzyme is a catalyst for biochemical reactions. In very tiny amounts, an enzyme has a great effect on a living system. The enzyme maltase takes water and other materials and turns them into glucose. The enzyme cytochrome turns oxygen in the blood into a usable form. There are thousands of enzymes in the human body. A single liver cell has about 50,000 enzymes. Find a substance that turns off a single important enzyme, and you have a major monkey wrench in the machinery of the body. A dose of cyanide weighing as much as a postage stamp will shut down the cytochrome enzyme. There will be plenty of oxygen in the blood stream, but no way to get it into the cells without cytochrome.

• Another type of poison is one that affects the nervous system. All important signals in the body are sent through the biological wiring of the nerves. Many substances cause the signals to fail: either the “phone” is always busy; or the bell fails to ring; or the phone is answered but the voice is so distorted it can’t be understood. Important messages such as “Breathe!” fail to get through. Curare, a resin from tropical plants, does just that, by relaxing the body to such an extent that breathing stops, the same way saxitoxin works as well.

IT’S A FACT • The oleander is a shrubby tree that is so poisonous that single leaf is fatal to man. At a tragic beach party, a dozen people used oleander sticks to roast hot dogs over a fire. The whole group was found dead at the scene.

POISONOUS PLOTS • In 1776 a cook in George Washington’s camp overheard a plot to kill General Washington by poisoning his peas. The cook tipped off the General, who quietly ate the rest of his lunch, leaving the peas untouched. The peas were later fed to some chickens, who all died. It is not known what became of the traitor.

• Imprisoned for years until his death on the island of St. Helena, Napoleon Bonaparte was so ill that he was certain he was being poisoned. His doctors scoffed. When he died, they said his death was due to stomach cancer. Years later, the science of toxicology had advanced to the point where researchers were able to analyze his hair for evidence of poison. They found that for weeks before his death, he had regularly been fed arsenic in his meals.

TOXIC FISH • The most venomous fish is the stonefish. Each of the 13 dorsal spines on the fish carries a dose of neurotoxin powerful enough to kill a full-size shark or a human who touches it. The neurotoxin attacks nerve cells, inhibiting their function. The result is paralysis, which is fatal if the toxin reaches the heart or lungs. Fortunately, the venom can be broken down if heat is applied, which generally involves immersing the affected area in water heated to 113F (45C) for as long as possible.

ACCIDENTAL DEATHS • Accidental poisonings are the leading cause of deaths in the home. Among children under the age of five, medicines account for 44% of poisonings, followed in frequency by cleaning agents, cosmetics, plants, and paint products. More children are poisoned on Sunday than any other day, possibly because parents are sleeping late and the children are unsupervised. Prime danger hours during the week are between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m., when parents are fixing dinner or otherwise distracted.

LESSONS LEARNED • A bean with the Latin name of Abrus precatorius is shiny and attractive, being red and black. These beans were regularly used in jewelry and bead work. No one suspected they were poisonous, because a bean that has an unbroken shell will pass through the digestive system without doing any harm. But when holes were drilled through the bean, it provided easy access to the toxin. Children who put the beads in their mouths, or women who wore them on sweaty necks died. Finally the connection was made between the bead and death, and they are no longer used.

• In the 1800s hats made from felt were popular. Hat makers had to use mercury when forming the hats, and would breathe mercury vapor and get mercury on their skin. Soon their hands would begin to shake and they would undergo weird personality changes, eventually becoming “mad as a hatter” because of the toxic effects of mercury poisoning.

ANTIDOTE ANECDOTE • In 1830 a pharmacist from Paris rose before the members of the French Academy and told them that powdered charcoal was an effective antidote to many poisons of the day. To prove it, he swallowed ten times the amount of strychnine needed to kill a human, and followed it with half an ounce of charcoal. The strychnine would normally have killed him with terrible convulsions immediately, yet he walked away unharmed. For the next century, charcoal, because of its incredibly absorbent nature, was the premiere antidote the world over.

In the stomach it absorbs and deactivates alcohol, arsenic, barbiturates, cocaine, digitalis, ipecac, morphine, nicotine, opium, and quinine, among other things. Even today, a poison victim in a modern hospital is often treated with a hemodetoxifier, in which the blood is removed from the body, run through a fancy charcoal filter, then returned to the bloodstream.

PAW’S CORNER

WORDS: CURIOUS COUPLES • What do ankle and anchor have in common?

They share the Latin root word “ank” meaning “bend.” The Anglo-Saxons borrowed “ank” to make the flexible ankle; the Greeks took the same root word and applied it to the curve of the anchor which held their ships in place.

• “Baby,” “babble,” and “barbarian” all spring from the Greek word “barbarous” meaning a foreigner or one who speaks an incomprehensible language. It’s the same story for the rhubarb plant: the land along the river Volga was known to the Greeks as the Rha. Since this was an unknown territory, they called it “barbaron” or barbarian. A plant they found there was dubbed “rha barbaron” meaning “from the barbarian land of Rha” and then shortened to rhubarb.

• The words “bull” and “fool” both come from the Anglo-Saxon word “bula” meaning a swelled-up creature, such as a big bull or a big-headed fool.

• According to legend, St. Martin was an officer in the Roman army. He was riding his horse along a lonely road one cold winter day when a beggar stopped him and asked for alms. Martin had no money, but seeing that the beggar was shivering in his rags, he took off his cloak, cut it in two with his sword, and gave half to the beggar. The story goes that the beggar then revealed himself to be Christ. A shrine was erected on the spot to commemorate the divine event where Martin had offered Christ half of a cloak. The shrine was called a “cappella” which is Latin for “little cloak.”

Through the years every roadside shrine became known as a cappella. The French turned the word into “chapelle” and the English translated it as “chapel.” The Latin word for cloak is “cappa” and gives us the word cape. Therefore, “cape” and “chapel” spring from the same source. (continued on last page)

Picture-Perfect Pet --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Every time I go onto social media I see pictures and videos of adorable pets doing adorable things. This includes my friends’ pets. But I know from experience that not all of my friends’ dogs and cats are so cute and well-behaved. My worry is that people will see all these cute animals and think taking care of a pet is easy, when it really isn’t. I have two rescue animals, a cat and a dog. They both have health and behavioral issues. Forget about holding still for a picture! What are your thoughts on this social-media trend? -- Carol in Saginaw, Michigan DEAR CAROL: I’m honestly not sure that social-media images and videos necessarily give the impression that caring for a pet is easy. Perhaps a few years ago, when not everyone was on Facebook or Instagram, some may have thought owning a dog or cat was an easy task.

People post videos and pictures of their families and their pets at their very best (or cutest or funniest) on social media because they’re proud of them. You don’t see a whole lot of videos of baby with an earache, or two ordinarily congenial dogs suddenly snapping at each other, or that day Sparky got worms. Not many of those stressful dramas that make up everyday life make it into a social-media feed.

It’s also totally fine to be proud of your pets and not post pictures of them online. You don’t even need a reason.

So, be gentle with your friends and their tendency to post tons of awww-inducing moments. It’s more important that those pets are loved and cared for, just as it sounds like you are doing with your two pets.

SNAKE BITES • There are 20 species of poisonous snakes in the U.S., and about 8,000 people are bitten by them each year. Of those, 5 to 10 will die.

• There are two kinds of venom, which is a modified saliva. One is a nerve poison that stops the heart and lungs. The other attacks the blood cells and tissues, making the meal easier to digest.

Small animals die quickly but large animals are seldom killed. The snake has enzymes in its own stomach that deactivates the poison. Still, if a snake accidentally bites itself, it dies.

• Antivenin can provide relief, and generally cuts the hospital stay in half. Antivenin is produced by injecting horses (or sheep, rabbits, and goats) with ever-increasing doses of snake venom.

The horse produces antibodies to protect it from the venomous proteins. Blood is then withdrawn from the horse, and those antibodies are separated and harvested. When injected into a human who has suffered a snake bite, the horse antibodies bind to the poison and neutralize it. However, many people have severe reactions when horse proteins are injected into their bodies. It can trigger an allergic reaction known as serum sickness, which is sometimes worse than the snake bite itself. Symptoms can include fever, rashes, nausea, weakness, nerve inflammation, and sometimes permanent muscle atrophy.

• Researchers have found that when chickens are injected with venom, their antibodies become concentrated in the yolks of their eggs. It’s easier to extract pure antivenin from egg yolk, and humans are much less likely to suffer allergic reactions to egg proteins than to horse proteins.

Researchers hope that this will one day be the method used to treat snake bites worldwide.

• An Australian snake called the taipan is so deadly that there has never been a documented case of anyone surviving a bite. One researcher who milked a single taipan calculated that a single bite would be enough to kill 23,500 mice. The taipan is considered the deadliest snake in the world.

• A cobra has enough venom stored in its glands to kill 30 people. The bite of a cobra can kill a man in 15 minutes if the dose is big enough. Weight for weight, cobra venom is 40 times deadlier than cyanide, five times more deadly than the venom of the black widow, and about the same toxicity as scorpion venom. Three drops can be deadly. Cobra venom is especially toxic because it contains a bundle of different poisons: one affects the nerves, one destroys red blood cells, and one paralyzes the muscles.

• The deadliest snake in the U.S. is the eastern diamondback rattlesnake, although it ranks #23 on the list of most world’s most toxic snake venoms.

• 75% of snake bites in the U.S. are from a rattlesnake.

• Rattlesnake venom that has been stored for 50 years still retains its potency.

•Worldwide, more people in India die from snake bites every year than any other country, with around 11,000 yearly fatalities annually, accounting for over half of snakebite deaths worldwide.

Pakistan comes second with about 8,200 fatalities each year.

• Although there are about 50 different kinds of venomous snakes in Australia, 80% of all snakebites in the country come from the eastern brown snake.

• Canada has only two species of venomous snakes and both are species of rattlesnake.

• The words “venom” and the “-venin” in “antivenin” come from the Latin “venene” meaning potion or poison.

CURIOUS COUPLES (cont’d) • The Anglo-Saxon word “heath” meant a wasteland, and gave us the words heath, heather, and heathen. • “Polak” means Polish man, and “polka” means Polish woman. When a new dance originating in Bohemia took the world by storm, it was called the polka. The polka was very popular and many different items were named after the dance. When a new fabric was invented, the manufacturer decided to name the new design “polka dots.” • “Glamour” and “grammar” both come from the same root word. In the 1500s, anyone who could speak and write Latin grammar was thought be have special magical powers. In England such a person was said to have “gramarye” and the Scots pronounced it “glamour.” Both meant that any person capable of understanding Latin was surely capable of casting charms as well.

• “Trunk” is the Latin word for tree, so “tree trunk” is redundant. A traveling case became known as a trunk because the first ones were made out of the hollowed out section of a tree. • “Infans” is Latin for “not able to speak” meaning a baby, or a member of the “infantry” who is not allowed to speak unless spoken to. • “Bursa” is the Latin word for pocket, which explains why “disburse” means out of pocket and “reimburse” means back in the pocket. A closed, fluid-filled pocket in the human body which functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body is called a burse. When a bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is called bursitis. • In Old English, “grappe” meant a cluster of fruit growing together, and “grape” was the hook that they were gathered with. Today, “grape” means the fruit itself, and “grapple” means struggling with a problem much as a harvester struggles with a hook.
