Thread: People very sick after eating wild pig

Smoke and mirrors, and if some dick said it would take a "bowl full" to have ant affect, maybe 1/2 a bowl should be eaten by him, just to satisfy me?

OK can someone double check me.

Toxipedia says a lethal human dose is 0.5 to 2mg per Kg. (DoC use the 2mg measure for LD50).

An small asian woman weighing ~50kg would to ingest 25-100mg of 1080 to reach a lethal dose.

Doc say they drop baits at 1.5mg per gram, with bait sizes ranging from 6 to 12 grams. So each bait contains 9-18mg of 1080.

So two 12 gram baits would deliver 36mg of 1080 and be enough to be within a potentially lethal dosage range.

How big are 12 gram baits? Are two enough to fill one bowl?

No they haven't been.
Only tests for botulism been done.
Family have confirmed authorities refused to test for any poisons.
All the meat in the family's freezer has been taken and destroyed without testing.......

Unfortunately testing the family some time after the poisoning may reveal little. This is a common problem with a lot of poisons not just 1080, acrylamide and glycol. If they weren't tested for poisons on admission we will now have ongoing speculation by conspiracy theorists for ever. Not to mention all this flip flopping and typical low grade click bait media crap. Oh for some real news, just careful attention to the facts, opinions stated as such and at least half an attempt by the reporter/editor to be neutral You know let you make up your own mind....

That just makes it appear to be 1080. At least to me. If it wasn't then they wouldn't hesitate to test and release the findings.

It almost appears that they didn't want to say they were testing for 1080 as that then made it a possibility which could then reflect badly on the potential for human poisoning.

Fake news and convenient truth?

Well, there is more to the 1080 side than just settling public conspiracy theories:

If the tests done were negative for botulinum toxin, then ACC should not really decline cover for treatment citing that an infectious organism, not accidental poisoning, was to blame.

...Which is a very good patient welfare reason why the public health officials responsible should consider adding 1080 tests to the samples.

So it has been confirmed now that it was a misdiagnosis for Botulism so what was it?
ACC happy to talk now to.

Due to the time between ingesting and testing we may never know. Lots of poisons break down rapidly, especially in living victims. I seem to remember 1080 takes less than a week for a sub lethal dose. There are other toxins, both natural and man made that could be responsible.
