(Wen / Liao Zhenren) (son of Yunlin Farmer)

Seeing that people are quarrelling about the pesticide paraquat recently and mentioning that there is no medicine for suicide by drinking paraquat, I would like to share my personal experience with you.

I am a child of Yunlin, and my family is also a farmer. My mother committed suicide by drinking pesticide parasone. Fortunately, we found it early and rushed to the hospital. Later, we were sent to Changhua Christian Hospital for detoxification, and my life was saved at that time.

In the process of taking care of my mother in the intensive care unit, I saw a patient coming next door with bright eyes. I would like to say that there seems to be no problem. How can I be admitted to the intensive care unit? Later, when I talked to his family, I found out that he had committed suicide by drinking the pesticide paraquat. He looked fine on the surface, but he was badly hurt inside.

According to his children, at first his father could still talk and expressed regret, but he did not know that the paraquat had no medicine to drink, so it had been deteriorating in the middle of the week. He was very energetic at first, and his eyes began to distract. It was like everyone was watching him waiting to die, and a week later he was gone.

(note: inadvertently drinking jaw razor poisoning, in addition to esophageal burns, liver and kidney injury, the most serious is that bala cutting will produce toxic reactive oxygen free radicals in the lungs, resulting in severe pulmonary fibrosis, the process is completely irreversible, and finally respiratory failure, asphyxiation and death, usually within one to two weeks after poisoning. )

My mother also committed suicide by drinking pesticides. It's really easy to get pesticides in the countryside, and I don't know what to do.

Pesticides in the countryside are kept in the warehouse and can be taken as much as you like. In fact, my mother was world-weary because of cancer, so we all told the nearby pesticide shop not to sell pesticides to my mother, but my mother went to my uncle's warehouse to get pesticides, so my mother could not read, so she happened to get Balasson and saved it.

But although Balasson had an antidote, after drinking pesticides, her organs were eroded and could not absorb nutrients. Although she eventually died of cancer, the reason for the deterioration of her condition was that her intestines were eroded by pesticides and unable to absorb nutrients, and then died of exhaustion. She had only 19 kilograms left before she died, and she died about half a year after drinking pesticides.

When I was a child, I went to the farmland to help and spray medicine, and I even had a license for vector mosquito control, but there was generally a lack of common sense in the countryside. Everyone wanted to be quick, and it was impossible to go to others for spraying. If you want to talk about nearby weeds, just spray them. Many people say that you need to wear a mask to spray pesticides, but many people just use a mask in front of the nozzles to keep pesticides from spilling.

In fact, I don't know what to do. It's really easy to get pesticides in the countryside. If you ask him to lock it up if you put it in the warehouse casually, he will say that it is troublesome not to lock it, and everyone can get it.

Suicide can't solve the problem, but it leaves the family with great grief. Please cherish life.

Give yourself another chance.
