Just thought I'd state it here. The chances of getting brain damage from sn are extremely low. There is only one case out of all available literature ever regarding it.
Man drinks soup that has sn in it. Recovers and 2 months later has dphl symptoms.
Most of the cases of dphl are related to overdose of opiates.
"Delayed post hypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL) is a rare consequence of hypoxic brain injury that occurs several days to weeks following an initial hypoxic insult. Most of the previously published cases occur in the setting of drug overdoses or carbon monoxide poisoning, where the incidence of DPHL is as high as 3%."
So it's 3% for both carbon monoxide and opiates overdose. It doesn't talk about sn at all even though technically both work around the same concept of hypoxia. Granted, there are way more opiate overdoses than sn but it's still 3% for opiates and CO.
My lucky guess would be that getting dphl for a healthy adult from sn is close to or around 0.5% given the fact that we only have one case in the available literature.
I don't know about other things like organ damage etc but many people talk about brain damage here and I just wanted to show that the chances of actual brain damage from hypoxia from sn are way lower than of opiates or CO.
Delayed Post-Hypoxic Leukoencephalopathy Following Nitrite Poisoning: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL) is a demyelinating syndrome that occurs days to weeks after the brain has recovered from a coma. It is caused by the period of hypoxia and is characterized by mental disorders, extrapyramidal system symptoms, ...
