Ethylene glycol poisoning
Ethylene glycol is poisonous to humans and other animals,
[3][4] and should be handled carefully and disposed of properly. Its sweet taste can lead to accidental ingestion or allow its deliberate use as a murder weapon.
[5][6][7] Ethylene glycol is difficult to detect in the body, and causes symptoms—including intoxication, severe diarrhea, and vomiting—that can be confused with other illnesses or diseases.
[3][7] Its metabolism produces
calcium oxalate, which crystallizes in the brain, heart, lungs, and kidneys, damaging them; depending on the level of exposure, accumulation of the poison in the body can last weeks or months before causing death, but death by
acute kidney failure can result within 72 hours if the individual does not receive appropriate medical treatment for the poisoning.
[3] Some ethylene glycol antifreeze mixtures contain an
embittering agent, such as
denatonium, to discourage accidental or deliberate consumption.
