Ethylene glycol poisoning is a type of poisoning caused by the ingestion of ethylene glycol, a toxic chemical found in antifreeze and other industrial products. Symptoms of ethylene glycol poisoning include nausea, vomiting, confusion, seizures, and coma. If left untreated, ethylene glycol poisoning can be fatal. Treatment typically involves the administration of an antidote, such as ethanol or fomepizole, as well as supportive care.

Symptoms of ethylene glycol poisoning include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, confusion, dizziness, headache, rapid heart rate, low blood pressure, seizures, coma, and death. In severe cases, kidney failure, metabolic acidosis, and respiratory depression may occur.

Ethylene glycol poisoning is caused by ingestion of ethylene glycol, a toxic alcohol found in antifreeze, de-icing solutions, and some solvents. Ingestion of ethylene glycol can cause severe damage to the kidneys, brain, and other organs. Ingestion of even small amounts can be fatal.

1. Administering ethanol or fomepizole to inhibit the metabolism of ethylene glycol.

2. Administering intravenous fluids to increase the rate of excretion of ethylene glycol.

3. Administering bicarbonate to alkalinize the urine and increase the rate of excretion of ethylene glycol.

4. Administering dialysis to remove ethylene glycol from the body.

5. Administering vitamin B6 to reduce the formation of toxic metabolites.

6. Administering thiamine to reduce the formation of toxic metabolites.

7. Administering folinic acid to reduce the formation of toxic metabolites.

1. Ingestion of antifreeze containing ethylene glycol
2. Ingestion of products containing ethylene glycol as a solvent
3. Inhalation of ethylene glycol vapors
4. Accidental ingestion of ethylene glycol-containing products
5. Intentional ingestion of ethylene glycol-containing products
6. Ingestion of contaminated food or beverages
7. Ingestion of contaminated water
8. Ingestion of contaminated soil
9. Ingestion of contaminated dust
10. Ingestion of contaminated air
11. Ingestion of contaminated medications
12. Ingestion of contaminated cosmetics
13. Ingestion of contaminated medical devices
14. Ingestion of contaminated industrial products
15. Ingestion of contaminated recreational drugs
16. Ingestion

Yes, there is a cure for ethylene glycol poisoning. Treatment typically involves administering medications such as ethanol, fomepizole, and hemodialysis to help remove the toxin from the body. Additionally, supportive care such as IV fluids and oxygen may be necessary to help manage symptoms.
