Is it possible that my Sodium Nitrite has since converted into 'NITRATE'?

[Wrennie]

Am actively being paralyzed and going blind. Felt a vibration travel up my spine in October and lost ALL proprioception (full-body). Typing this out is unbelievably difficult because I can now only rely on my limited visuals to assess my body's position in space.

My question is this: I ordered LW SN back in August of 2020. Since then I've opened the bottle just a couple of times but closed it immediately afterward. Is there a chance that the Nitrite has degraded into Nitrate since then as it was exposed to oxygen for VERY brief intervals? Is there any way of ascertaining this?

I ordered a giant 2 pound bottle of another brand of SN from WM to use as an emergency backup in case this doesn't work. I know LW is the gold standard though so I'm hesitant to attempt with this new one.

Yeah, you'd be better off if you do a simple blood test on it. But I don't really think that briefly opening it would degrade the sn significantly

How does this blood test work?

What am I supposed to do?

Just puncture the tip of your finger with a needle and extract a few drops of blood. Then add a bit (some granules) of the salt to it.
If the blood becomes a dark brown color, you're good!

Finger lancets on auction site 99p each good for drawing blood

You will need to test it, Wrennie ...

If you have any trouble discerning the color, maybe try to take a picture of the drop of blood so someone can tell if it's still good or not.

I've sent you a message a few days ago, worried about you because you told in your last post exactly that you were having trouble to move your arms and fingers...
I'm so sorry it gotten this bad ...

What is LW? I'm still unfamiliar with some of the acronyms used around here.

What is the name of the affliction with which you suffer?

Is there no chance of recovery?
