Man’s Vomit Poisons 54 People
It was like a scene out of Resident Evil, when a man began to vomit in a hospital emergency room causing over 50 people surrounding him to be posioned and scrambling for medical attention themselves.
This was no movie though and no one was amused.
In Kumamoto, Japan, a man was rushed to the emergency room after drinking large amounts of pesticide and poisoning himself. Doctors were attempting to pump the patients stomach when he started violently vomiting before dying.
The spray of chloropicrin, a very dangerous pesticide, was so toxic it cause 54 doctors, nurses, and patients to have breathing problems and sores in their eyes, leaving them desperate for medical help.
All of the injured hospital workers were transfered to a different hospital and 10 of them ended up being hospitalized themselves.
A 72 year-old pneumonia patient got the worst of it as her condition worsened after being exposed to the fumes.
90 additional hospital personnel were called in to assist in the emergency and the nearby fire department was called in to decontaminate the emergency room.
Detergent suicides have been a recent trend in Japan, which has caused a panic amongst officials. With 50 people having killed themselves with detergent overdose recipes found on the internet, officials have tried to get internet providers to take down pages containing the recipe.

Perhaps those that want to be dead should be left to their own devices, this guy turned himself into a biobomb and almost took additional lives with him…!
Perhaps suicide should be legalized, with suicide booths and all, as in Futurama?

Suicide booths were invented somewhere between 2006 and 2008. Since 2008 America’s most important brand of suicide booths is Stop’n'Drop. Stop’n'Drop suicide booths have two modes of death: “quick and painless”, and “slow and horrible”. A suicide in a suicide booth usually costs 25 American cents.
(women from Kumamo to anything that’s good enough for the cockroach is good enough for me )

What a waste.. do suicide bomb runs on the Arabs to get them to lower the price of OIL. Bilking the world out of Trillions of dollars is just sick!

whatawaste: yes, let’s do something about the sick oil barons, and let’s start right here at home. Check out oil company stock prices. They’re profiting on it…
Idiot.

Congratulations whatwaste. You get todays ignorant comment award. Do you honestly think OPEC sets the price? Oil is traded ona worldwide open market. You can bomb anyone you want and it is not going to change the price, well it won’t change it in our favor anyway.

ERs should all have a special ‘Bio-hazard Containment Chamber’ to treat these sick-O suicide bombers and other dangerous, bio-affected victims. Like an ICU for a premmie, they could work on the patient remotely, through gloves/arm gloves, and robotics.
or, alternatively, an emergency switch, a remote, hanging around every employee’s neck, which activates a huge boost of rapid air flow ventilation straight down through a 1 inch grated floor perhaps.

I feel like I'm gonna vomit after reading and imagining this entire scene! But just no words to describe the pain that man would have gone through while vomiting out that poison. How deadly would it be if it could threaten other 50 people. Sh1t happens alright, but VOMIT happens too!.:(

@lalith: Is it really! Then I guess I need to grab that Silent Hill game from my shelf and start playing on my playstation 2 to realise this condition…lol! This is just unimaginable. I feel for the people who were there and for the man who consumed that poison…how painful!
