Blue rat poison, containing anticoagulant chemicals, causes acute poisoning symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Prolonged exposure poses carcinogenic and reproductive risks. Immediate first aid includes inducing vomiting and medical attention. Common symptoms are gastrointestinal distress, internal bleeding, and organ damage. Treatment involves supportive care, symptom management, and antidotes. The poison negatively impacts wildlife and aquatic life, contaminating water sources. EPA regulations control its use and require safe handling practices to prevent harm to humans and the environment. Responsible disposal, through incineration or landfill practices, is crucial to minimize its detrimental effects.
