Excessive intake can be fatal 11 major symptoms of nitrite poisoning

It is understood that nitrite is a common food additive. Appropriate use will not cause harm to the human body, but if the amount exceeds the safe amount, it will cause nitrite poisoning, cause various injuries to the human body, and cause various diseases. According to information from the Hong Kong Center for Food Safety, nitrite can oxidize hemoglobin in the blood, making it impossible to transport oxygen in the human body, causing methaemoglobinemia, and the lips and skin of patients will turn purple. Nitrite can also produce endogenous nitrification with amines in the human body to form nitrosamines, which increases the risk of cancer.

Dr. Lu Yuanqiang, Director of the Emergency Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, once pointed out that nitrite is a highly toxic substance, and the incubation period of poisoning is only 1 to 3 hours. Adults only need to ingest 0.2 to 0.5 grams to cause poisoning, and 3 grams can be fatal. The main cause of nitrite poisoning is the consumption of cured meat products with high nitrate or nitrite content, pickles or spoiled vegetables, and it may also be caused by mistakenly eating industrial sodium nitrite as table salt.

Nitrite can oxidize the low iron hemoglobin in the blood that normally carries oxygen into methemoglobin, making it lose the ability to carry oxygen, resulting in tissue hypoxia, dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure, leading to acute poisoning of the human body; nitrite poisoning is the most The main feature is the cyanosis caused by tissue hypoxia, that is, the lips, tongue tip, and nails are cyanotic. In severe cases, the conjunctiva, face, and even the skin of the whole body will be cyanotic. Other symptoms include:

Lu Yuanqiang added that nitrite can also be converted into nitrosamine, which has a strong carcinogenic effect. Long-term consumption of food containing nitrite can easily cause esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, and colorectal cancer. In addition, nitrite can also pass through the placenta. Enter the fetus, the fetus within 6 months is particularly sensitive to nitrite, and has a teratogenic effect on the fetus.
