What Causes Severe Diarrhoea And Vomiting After Acute Intoxication By Difenacoum?
Question: Have been baiting rats in hen house with shop bought poison over last week. On two occasions, second 4.30 yesterday.
Two days ago I trapped two babies in a rat trap which I still have as don't know what to do with them
At midnight I started with severe diarrhoea and then at 3 projectile vomiting. This has been happening a very 2 hours or so through the nighti ate with my family last night, no one else is ill
Although I haven't touched the poison directly or the baby rats, do you think it is all connected?
I don't actually feel unwell. My body is just on expel mode:(((((

Brief Answer:
I'm waiting for the requested data!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Before giving you my professional opinion I would like to know the exact name of your product. Can you upload a photo of the poison box (when is printed the name and chemical formula)?
Meanwhile, I would like to say that your symptoms most likely are related to gastrointestinal viral infection (stomach flu). Only in a few cases with very toxic poisons this may be a manifestation of poisoning exposure.
This is why it's essential to know the exact name of your product.
I'm waiting for the requested data!
Meantime, wish you health!

- Open windows of the room in order to eleminate toxic gases thatmay have been formed in the room.

Hi
After researching I find that Difenacoum is the active ingredient
As I didn't eat a block I'm thinking my symptoms are a coincidence too!
Thank you for your reassurance in the early hours though
Kind regards XXXXXXX
