Long term effects of SN?

[*KNAZ*]

Of course it's terrifying, and it should well be. But quite frankly looking at the SN megathread, 90% or more is an absolute waste of space. And a new thread about SN is started everyday with the same questions. Can I hurt myself trying to end my life? Seriously??? You are not booking yourself in for a spa day. Rant over

I got a little miffed earlier at some similar lines of questioning on the SN megathread but I had to remember how I was when I first came on here. Insecure, frightened, maybe a little desperate. I also asked a couple of stupid questions about mixing SN with Gatorade or koolaid or fruit juice (do not mix with those drinks - small amount of water only). Now that I took a forum break, I am striving to be a little more patient when I choose to reply to new but repetitive questions. I try to answer questions from newbies to be helpful and to stop further worries and even more questions.

I have noticed a lot of the confusion seems to be around the anti-emetic protocols and the effectiveness of SN itself or what happens with unsuccessful attempts. The PPH leaves some gray areas that contribute to the confusion.

If done in adequate amount, ingested properly, and being undisturbed, SN works. No doubt. With or without anti-emetics from what I have read.

I support stopping the SN megathread and editing the info into a FAQ with appropriate links. Probably wouldn't end questions or new threads about SN but could be easier to refer newbies to that resource.

If i open the original bottle and measure out 15g of the SN and put it into a little jar and close it really tight would it be ok or will the exposure to air turn it into nitrate? I wanna be able to easily take it with me to travel into the wilderness.

If you have a 100g bottle why not just take it with you? If you choose to take a smaller amount then yes, if you transfer contents to a smaller airtight container and the lid is secured well, then I wouldn't see any reason to worry. I would bring more than 15 g just to be safe.

Why does. matter what the long term affects are if you don't throw up or get
found you will ctb.

I'm only a month new, but certainly the first couple of week or so, I didn't even fully understand how to look stuff up, but even now, after reading as many SN threads as I can, things are still not completely clear, or sifting through tons of comments for almost 2 hours is difficult for many under extreme stress and emotions. (including myself often). PPH is very helpful but I never read anything about SN being exposed to air as ruining it?!

...such as what I just read yesterday about if SN is exposed to air it may not be viable anymore?

That's actually a question I am hoping you could help me with please or anyone knows about how to open/handle/maintain SN around air?? (And yes of course I read the part where it says to try to transfer to an airtight container, but I suppose my question more specifically is how long can SN be exposed to air without it going bad?

That's what's so unclear to me, is it 30 seconds? One minute or five minutes?

Do I need to frantically rush putting SN into the warm water I'm going to stir it in and then drink it as soon as possible?

I guess I don't understand fully what I need to worry about or what doesn't matter with SN.

Thank you for everyone's patience and understanding.

Just treat it as you would table salt. You don't have to rush to use it like it's going to evaporate or degrade or anything like that. For long term storage the lid should be tight on the container. In other words don't just leave it open to air. But for CTB just open the jar and scoop out what you need and mix wIth water. And put the lid back on. No worries.

This guy ingested 75g of SN. Got saved and had no complications. https://casereports.bmj.com/content/2014/bcr-2014-204825

It's nitrAte.

 

[Manja]

Why 75g?!!!

It's nitrate :/

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

It's nitrate :/

Yes buy I haven't read it. He took it accidentally.

Accidentally 75gr...yeah right
