Used SN

[YanWasHere]

This probably gets asked a lot but I couldn't find the answer. I failed my first attempt some weeks ago and left the SN package open. Is it still usable or does it expire?

You failed using SN? What was your protocol?

I took it, then panicked and called emergency. Got hospitalized

It's better to buy a new package. When in contact with air, Sodium Nitrite oxides and becomes Sodium Nitrate, which isn't a reliable product for CTB

It should be fine. SN is fairly stable. There will be slight loss of potency over the week but not much.
I hope you're able to find peace, whatever choices you make

Thanks ❤ Life's been tough lately

No, it's no longer useable. It will have converted to sodium nitrate which will not kill you but just make you feel and be sick. Kinda like salt really.

Obviously you're gonna get mixed replies. If it was me, I would likely re purchase to be sure. You can run what you have on a test but we also know different brands etc give different results. Just worth being mindful about. Wishing you peace no matter what.

How do you know you won't call emergency again? My biggest fear

Tbh my last experience was so miserable while recovering that I really doubt that I'll repeat it again. If I do it I'll 100% commit

Can I ask why it was so bad? It's my only method now

If you do a simple Google search on SN it takes months of improper storage to degrade considerably. There is a great thread on SN storage and stability. If it were mine from what I have researched I would not be too worried. Testing will tell you for certain.
