Acquired methemoglobinemia can be caused by exposure to certain medications, chemicals, or substances that can oxidize hemoglobin, converting it to methemoglobin. Common causes include nitrate or nitrite medications, certain anesthetics, certain antibiotic drugs (such as dapsone and sulfonamides), and certain chemicals used in industries like aniline dyes or certain pesticides.
Congenital methemoglobinemia is typically benign and should be observed. If methemoglobinemia symptoms occur the person should be taken to the hospital for treatment.
If a person gets methemoglobinemia from a certain medication that medication should be avoided at all costs in the future. For people with congenital methemoglobinemia medications or other things that are known to oxidize hemoglobin should be avoided.
If found early, acquired methemoglobinemia can be easily treated with no side effects. After treatment with methylene blue the patient can expect a full recovery.
The day that nobody really cares about.
If you mix two or more chemicals together, they may or may not undergo a chemical reaction.
For acquired methemoglobinemia the typical treatment is with methylene blue. This is administered with an IV over a five-minute period and results are typically seen within 20 minutes.
Methanoglobnemia is mispelled, it's actually methemoglobinemia Methemoglobinemia is a blood disorder in which an abnormal amount of methemoglobin -- a form of hemoglobin -- is produced. Hemoglobin is the molecule in red blood cells that distributes oxygen to the body. Methemoglobin cannot release oxygen. In methemoglobinemia, the hemoglobin is unable to release oxygen effectively to body tissues.

The toxic chemicals found in fertilisers can be absorbed into the plants and enter the food chain via vegetables and cereals, although the biggest health risk is when the chemicals seep into the ground water which is then extracted for drinking water. This water can contain high levels of nitrates and nitrites and have been known to cause blue-baby syndrome (methemoglobinemia) and can also lead to miscarriage in pregnant women. Mercury, lead, cadmium and uranium are some of the toxic heavy metals that have been found in fertilisers and can cause distrubances of the kidneys, lungs and liver and cause cancer - depending on how much has been consumed!
Yes you have to be a little more careful that you don't expose the vinyl to strong concentrations of chemicals as this may cause discolouration.
