Nitrate and Nitrite Poisoning<br />

Nitrates and nitrites are abundant in the environment and are found in medicines and products in the home. Overexposure to nitrates and nitr

Ammonium nitrate from an instant cold pack.

Sounds like something to look into imma go see if anything's been said already
Already see ppl saying was used in explosives so hard to get maybe get a cool pack like the person in the story

I read about this a couple weeks ago and took all of these packs of out of my moms freezer. I'm crazy. This is the only story I've ever seen on it.

Nitrate and Nitrite Poisoning, Why so blue? Very classy poison.org. Is SN not available for you?

SN might be an option I mean I gotta get a P.O. Box anyways bc shipping this would still be suspicious. I already got caught w sn still idk got excited when I saw this ya know

Holy cow! Apparently ER patients have been known to consume the stuff WHILE THERE. That's crazy.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I wonder how much lunchmeat filled with nitrites one would have to consume to die?

"Most were thirsty and wanted a cool drink." There is something wrong with me. Like I cannot stop laughing.

Anyone knows if this could be a serious method?

Anyone knows if this could be a serious method?

It's not.

The full medical journal article is behind a paywall so we can't see how much ammonium nitrate was ingested.
It doesn't sound like she took in much though, especially if it was only contaminated ice (more ice than AN).

Just remember:
When this chemical deteriorates it can spontaneously combust. It's probably hard to obtain in powder form.

Remember the massive explosion that leveled a large part of the city of Beirut in 2020? That was because a large amount of AN was improperly stored and was decomposing:
