Anti-Freeze Poisoning

[inmyhead]

I wondered if anyone here had any experience or knew much about anti-freeze poisoning. I was reading recently that it actually tastes quite sweet so can be added to a sugary soda like Coke and you can't even really taste it.

I looked up symptoms and they said:

• headache
• fatigue
• lack of coordination
• grogginess
• slurred speech
• nausea
• vomiting

Organ damage occurs after 24-72 hours but I'm just wondering aloud how painful that might be. I take antipsychotics with a sedative effect. My thoughts were potentially taking a large dose of them to keep me asleep and out of it - I can easily sleep up to 16 hours if I take a large dose.

I also have diazepam to help keep me calm.

Alternatively I wondered about taking minor small doses which would hopefully give me the poisoning without the vomiting.

Thinking aloud really.

This is far too slow and agonizing. I don't recommend trying it.

Yeah I did kinda think this but with people saying it tasted sweet it sounded too good to be true in a way.

Haha yeah, maybe the taste but not the process. I'm pretty sure if that was a really quick and reliable method it'd be much more discussed and antifreeze wouldn't be available freely anymore.

It tastes like sickingly sweet cough syrup. Getting down a lethal dose is very difficult.
