I have been drinking lots of water because humans are like 60% water, but that means the other 40% is human and I am not sure how much of that I am supposed to have.

When nature wants you really dead, it sends a snake. Or a tick. Or a bean. Or a mushroom. Or sometimes… a sausage.

Had fun diving into the toxins that target the soft underbelly of your nervous system: the neuromuscular junction.

Neuromuscular junction toxins - PubMed

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is highly susceptible to neurotoxins due to its lack of protective barriers like the blood-brain barrier. Over time, a wide range of natural toxins have evolved to tar...

Excited to co-moderate this @AACTinfo webinar today on some topics that won't just raise your hair, but might cause you to lose it all together! Hope to see you there!

whoops, just noted this, Our IQR was 4, but ranged had had kids less than 2 (one was in the ICU but also coingested dilt, nothing happened however, just obs)

Though we really didn't have many kids <2 so doesn't change overall global data much

Yes! And dose makes the poison, just one data set of many. But I do think it’s reassuring in some aspects, I think I would still be worried in more than one cap and in larger mg/kg ingestions.

My cardiac arrhythmia simulation now also simulates how a reentrant loop can be terminated by increasing refractory time as suggested by @empoisonpharmd.bsky.social

🚨 Benzonatate can kill—but rarely by accident. In our 20-year review, serious toxicity (seizure, dysrhythmia, death) occurred almost entirely in intentional cases. Unintentional? Nearly all walked away.

Since it appears impossible to get people to stop saying Poison “Control” Center can we at least call it a Poison “Command” Center?

We don’t command or control anything but maybe I could get a cool badge that way.

(🤔Poison Consult Center best option now that I think about it)

I have to correct text messages to my wife from "Ok" to "Kk" because for some reason I read "Ok" as more of a "I will tolerate this" and Kk is a positive affirmation of plan. How crazy is this?

EM pharmacists are resuscitation logistics pros. Adding med admin has been a huge boost to task flexibility. In this article, we share a checklist for implementation, and solutions to barriers, with case examples from PharmDs in several states. Grateful to work with this team!

I find it interesting that 100% of the research I do that gets selected for platform/podium presentation gets denied by the first journal it goes to.
