How much damage will your body suffer if you drink paraquat?

In China, 78% of paraquat users commit suicide. 71% of them decide to commit suicide on impulse, and even one-third decide to commit suicide only five minutes before taking the poison. They often regret it more than ten hours later.

· Never underestimate the toxicity of paraquat. Even if you only take 10 ml, only 10% of this 10 ml is absorbed by the blood, and 90% absorbed into the blood will be excreted with urine. However, even the 0.1 ml of paraquat remaining in the body is enough to harm the body and even kill people. The current mainstream method for treating paraquat poisoning is the "Taishan Consensus". Targeted treatment with methods such as blood perfusion, glucocorticoids, and antioxidants has achieved a survival rate of 66% in some areas.

China has completely banned the sale and use of paraquat aqueous and gel formulations in China since 2020. In recent years, paraquat poisoning incidents have been reduced by nearly half, but have not completely disappeared. There are still some unscrupulous merchants who mix paraquat with other pesticides to create "special-effect pesticides" that are difficult to guard against.
