Worst Case Effect of Chlorine Dioxide

​

In one of the worst case scenarios, users converted chlorine dioxide from a liquid to gas for inhalation purposes. Effects of inhaling chlorine dioxide can lead to long-term respiratory problems or even death.

In a quote from Jim Humble's Book:

Two Cautionary Tales

Tale #1: I once told a person over the phone how to do this. He was very sure that he needed to go faster. So he used 4 drops instead of 2, but what he really did wrong was continue to breathe the fumes for almost half an hour. It felt good, he said.
Four hours later that afternoon, he was gasping for breath. He could hardly force air into his lungs because he had burned them. He was afraid that he had permanently harmed them. I told him that he would be alright but that it would take several days to recover and that is what happened. It was a bad experience. He really thought he was going to die. Don’t you have the same experience! Go slowly! You can indeed harm your lungs.

Tale #2: Just the other day one of the Ministers here was making a six-drop dose to take. After putting the 6 drops in a coffee cup and adding 6 drops of citric acid, before adding the water, he dropped his pen. He was sitting in a chair and without thinking, he bent over between his legs to pick up the pen. As he reached for it, he was holding the coffee cup in his other hand and his nose went into the cup as he picked up the pen. He was just drawing a breath. It hit him hard.

He coughed very hard for several minutes and then he seemed to be OK. But 4 hours later he was wheezing and he could hardly get a breath. It scared him. He had a hard time that evening, but by the next day he was OK. I tell you this to emphasize that if you use this technique, go slowly.

In World War I, Fritz Haber utilized Chlorine as a chemical weapon, which came into the production of the first Chlorine Gas Cylinders. Chlorine as a weapon reappeared later in the Iraq War and rumored to be in use again on Syrian civilians.
