Method Should we buy methylene blue in case sn fails?

Im not sure the hospital in my town has it tbh
Should we have it?

I guess you could always have some on hand for the paramedics to use when they arrive, because sadly it needs to be administered intravenously. I've tried looking up about the possibilities of administering it orally but couldn't find anything.

So taking it orally wont do nothing?

Probably not enough. Speed is of the essence too, you'll be waiting for it to get into your bloodstream and you could probably still die before it gets there. Not a doctor though.

Hey, I just wanted to show you what you will be treated with in the hospital if you end up there after a SN CTB for whatever reason; be it that you changed your mind, were found or for other reasons. A lot of people talk about methylene blue, but I don't think many have actually seen it. For...

I'm confused by this, if someone could explain. Why would you need the blue of the sn failed? Wouldn't it just fail and you would be okay? Or do you have to seek medical treatment if the sn doesn't work?

It's used to reverse the effects of SN since SN results in methemoglobin

No, I understand that. Like if someone found you before you died and called ems, they would administer blue to reverse.

But is that what they mean by 'fail'?

Or is it possible to take sn and it just not work? Like I take sn and just don't die?

In all the cases I have read, people have been found shortly after or called ems themselves shortly after taking.

I am planning on taking sn while home alone for 4 days. I will probably take it on the second night to ensure I have some time to prepare everything I want to get together. So I won't be found for another 2 days. I don't want the possibility of not dying and being stuck for two days with no help. I didn't think that would be a possibility really. So I'm a bit confused.

Sorry if this sounds dumb.

If I understand correctly I'm guessing you are wondering why have methylene blue at all if your intention is to ctb. It is possible for SN to fail, but unlikely if you follow the protocol outlined in PPH.
