The most bizarre poisoning case in history, are you shocked?

I wonder if you still remember the civil servant poisoning case that happened in Rushan, Shandong last year. The civil servant was dissatisfied with the appointment of cadres, so he bought sow estrus hormones online and "poisoned" the office. It once became the most bizarre poisoning case in history! Looking back now, I think it is really horrifying. This is the first time I have heard of such a unique "poisoning" method. So what effects will this "special" hormone have on the human body? Let's take a look at it below...

First of all, sow sex hormones are mainly used in production and are legal (they are sold everywhere online and offline, and veterinary drugs are cheap). Although sex hormones generally include male hormones and female hormones, from news reports and the keyword "sow", it can be assumed that it is most likely related to female hormones. For example, the news mentioned a three-in-one hormone (Tristerone), which is the one below.

Secondly, the ingredients of this sex hormone are estradiol benzoate, progesterone and testosterone propionate.

However, since these chemicals are somewhat conserved between different species, they can act across species. In other words, these hormones themselves also have a certain effect on humans. These hormones can act on humans.

Progesterone is a typical sex hormone that can be used to regulate menstruation.

Testosterone propionate is ineffective when taken orally, so it is ruled out.

Estradiol benzoate

Again, the purpose of sex hormones is to promote estrus in sows, improve the reproductive efficiency of pigs, increase the number of piglets born, and shorten the time to farrowing.

Regardless of the type of hormone, it essentially acts on the estrus process of sows.

Secondly, if people take it for a long time, it may have an impact on the body. For women, it may manifest as secondary sexual characteristics and reproductive-related behaviors, such as the situation mentioned in the news where a woman went through menopause and had her period again.

Finally, I don't think the male excitement point is credible. In fact, the three-in-one hormone may be more of a suppression of sexual impulses.

Men, maybe everyone has heard of chemical castration. In fact, one of the methods of chemical castration is to inject progesterone (progesterone includes long-acting medroxyprogesterone acetate and cyproterone acetate, etc., which are artificially synthesized progesterone drugs with similar effects to progesterone.), and then let men slowly lose their sexual desire, and even make men develop female secondary sexual characteristics such as breast development. For example, the familiar Turing was once chemically castrated because of homosexuality.

Normally, hormones are colorless or pale yellow, but if they are diluted in large quantities, they may be difficult to distinguish.

In particular, many people like to make tea, which will cover up the taste and color of the diluted hormones, resulting in them not even noticing the intake.

In addition, some of these hormones are not easily denatured. For example, estradiol benzoate is highly water-soluble and has a boiling point of 465°C, so it will not evaporate when heated. Therefore, it can be used for such a long time.

Do oral hormones work?

It depends on the nature of the hormone, protein or fat. Protein and polypeptide hormones (such as insulin and glucagon) will face degradation, while the latter will not. Sex hormones are generally steroids and can be taken orally. For example, some people take estradiol~

How bad is the impact?

Poisoning water sources is a very bad thing that affects everyone's personal safety. Such a form of revenge will definitely be severely punished!

Some people say that bringing your own electric kettle doesn't solve the problem at all, because heating is difficult to solve. If there is a problem with the water source, in this case, there is really no way to prevent it.

Bottled water is not safe, mineral water can also be poisoned, what about tap water? It's even easier.

Finally, I hope everyone can face everything in life with a peaceful attitude!
