Please keep sharing & raising awareness - ANTIFREEZE KILLS PEOPLE & CHILDREN - food and drinks are spiked with it with the intent of causing death. Children have died from ingesting antifreeze. Because it tastes so sweet, it can easily be hidden in food and drink. Just 30ml (two tablespoons) has been known to kill an adult human (at least 7 cases of human poisonings have made the UK news in the last 10 years)Following ingestion the symptoms develop quickly and follow a three step progression starting with intoxication and vomiting, before causing metabolic acidosis, cardiovascular dysfunction, seizures, and finally acute kidney failure. In 1972 Switzerland (“Swiss Poison Law”) banned the sale of Ethylene Glycol based coolants in Supermarkets, Accessory Shops, and generally across the counter to the public. [link]
