T65.0: Toxic effect: Cyanides
You have cyanide poisoning.
Cyanides are toxic substances. Cyanides can be released by fires, for example, or occur in metal processing workplaces. Some plants also contain cyanides, and they can be consumed in this way via food. Bitter almonds, for example, contain cyanides. Depending on which form the cyanides occur, they can be inhaled with air, swallowed or absorbed via the skin. The toxic hydrogen cyanide can form in the body from cyanides.
Cyanide poisoning can be accompanied by various symptoms. The poisoning prevents oxygen being used properly in the body. Typically, the breathing first gets deeper. You can also become breathless. The skin can first turn red and then blue. You may also feel dizzy and pass out. Seizures can occur. The poisoning can also cause heartbeat or circulation problems.
