Do you know that a bottle of seemingly harmless and sweet liquid can push a fresh life to the brink of death in an instant, and the key to saving this life is actually the liquor that is a frequent guest on the table.
What's going on here? What exactly is this dangerous liquid? How does liquor "save lives and help the wounded"?
The difference of one thought brews bitter fruit
In January 2024, in Huangshi, Hubei, on an ordinary winter afternoon, 45-year-old worker Deng had just finished a day's work, and he was thirsty and picked up a bottle of transparent liquid on the table, and poured it down.
It turned out that what Deng drank was not water or drinks, but antifreeze used in the workshop to prevent the car coolant from freezing, although this liquid is colorless and tasteless, it contains a large amount of ethylene glycol, which will cause serious poisoning reactions after entering the human body.
The danger of antifreeze is actually much greater than we think, it will not only damage the digestive system, but also quickly convert into oxalic acid, a highly toxic substance, after entering the human body, causing central nervous system disorders and even life-threatening.
Although antifreeze is usually colorless and transparent, manufacturers usually make it into a colored product with a hint of sweetness, which can easily be mistaken for a drink.
According to incomplete statistics, in recent years, there have been several cases of poisoning and death due to accidental ingestion of antifreeze, many of which were drunk as a drink, and some were accidentally inhaled during vehicle maintenance.
Can this worker, who accidentally drank antifreeze some time ago, be effectively treated and finally turn the corner?

The process of life-and-death treatment
At the critical juncture, the hospital became Deng's only hope, and after receiving the call for help, the 120 emergency personnel sent Deng who was already in a coma to the local hospital as quickly as possible, and the doctor on duty immediately realized that the situation was critical and began a life-and-death rescue in a race against time.
In the ICU, intubation, gastric lavage, doctors are busy around Deng, but Deng's condition has not improved, the toxins in his body are destroying his organ function step by step, and in the face of this life-threatening acute poisoning, conventional therapy is powerless.
Although the antifreeze has an antidote, due to the low domestic demand, this antidote called metopazole is not marketed in China, and it is impossible to use this antidote to effectively treat Deng.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a young clinical pharmacist reviewed the information for nearly two hours and put forward a seemingly deviant suggestion - use liquor to instill and block the metabolism of poisons in the body with the help of the properties of alcohol.
Although this plan sounds a little incredible, it may indeed become the only way to live, and the doctors decided to take a risk, because Deng had already entered a coma at that time, they slowly injected several bottles of high-grade liquor into Deng's body through a nasogastric tube.
Facts have proved that this unexpected detoxification program worked, and after several hours of rescue, Deng finally gradually recovered his vital signs, turned the crisis into safety, and walked at the door of death, and finally got out of danger.
Characteristics and risks of antifreeze
Deng's experience is by no means an isolated case, in fact, similar tragedies have been playing out for a long time, antifreeze, a substance that can be seen everywhere in modern life, is becoming a killer hidden around us in its own unique way.
At first glance, antifreeze may seem harmless to humans and animals, it usually has a crystal clear color and exudes an almost sweet scent, however, all this is just an illusion, obscuring its truly deadly nature.
The main ingredient in antifreeze is ethylene glycol, an organic compound with excellent frost resistance that keeps our cars running in the cold winters.
However, the harm of ethylene glycol to the human body is huge, even a small amount of ingestion is enough to cause a serious poisoning reaction, and what is even more terrible is that the sweetener component of antifreeze makes its risk more hidden.
An inadvertent ingestion, an accidental contact, can push people into a situation from which they will never recover, and this danger is especially prominent in certain groups of people.
Auto mechanics and long-distance truck drivers, who are the most vulnerable to antifreeze hazards, are often accustomed to dealing with this substance for a long time, and lack sufficient awareness and vigilance of the risks, and once there is an accident, tragedy is inevitable.
Many of the things we take for granted can actually become a weapon to hurt us, and if we don't be vigilant and learn to face up to those inconspicuous risks, we may be the next to fall.
It is far more meaningful to be vigilant and understand the risks around us than to regret it afterwards, and for dangerous substances such as antifreeze, we must learn to correctly recognize it and use it to minimize the risks.
Be vigilant and prevent problems before they happen
Deng's experience is a wake-up call for all of us, telling us that safety hazards are everywhere, and any negligence may lead to irreparable tragedy.
For antifreeze, whether at work or in daily life, once exposed to such substances, it is necessary to be vigilant at all times, and operate and use it in strict accordance with safety regulations.
Those manufacturers of antifreeze should also make the outer packaging of antifreeze more recognizable, and cannot directly use transparent containers to contain colored and sweet antifreeze to avoid the risk of accidental ingestion.
But it is not enough to rely on these alone, what is more important is everyone's own safety awareness, we must learn to be sensitive to the risks around us, and develop the habit of being cautious and cautious.
After all, there is only one life, in the pursuit of convenience and efficiency at the same time, we should learn to cherish and protect ourselves, those seemingly insignificant small details, often the key to life and death.
In history and reality, there are many tragedies like Deng, but there are countless people who have avoided possible misfortunes because they are a little more vigilant and cautious, which is the power of safety awareness.
epilogue
Deng's encounter is a painful lesson and a wake-up call, which reminds us that safety hazards are everywhere in modern society, and an inadvertent negligence and a seemingly harmless contact may bring irreparable consequences.
I hope that everyone can take Deng's story as a mirror, cherish the preciousness of life more while pursuing a better life, start from now, start from yourself, improve safety awareness, and jointly protect the world.
