What Are The Repercussions Of Ingesting Good Night Liquid?
Question: I drank half bottle of good night liquid before an hour ago.. I will die or not..??
Brief Answer:
Visit the ER at the earliest
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
It is not necessary that you would die on taking a bottle of GoodKnight Liquid but it could definitely lead to adverse effects. It contains allethrin or prallethrin, a neurotoxin and that could cause some neurotoxicity. It could lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting and gastritis. It could also lead to toxicities on the liver. If it goes to the lungs it could also cause chemical pneumonitis.
Although there are no specific antidotes I would still insist you to visit the ER and seek medical attention at the earliest.
Feel free to write back.
