This is an enormous increase of phosphine suicides! Often the victims are

bankrupt farmers, crushed by financial vultures.

I wonder if the effective medical treatment, mentioned here, is known

worldwide? This was new to me - but very logical at the same time

" In case of stomach wash, a person who has taken wheat pills cannot

survive.

According to experts, if anyone takes wheat pills, he or she should be

given

two litres of cooking oil or coconut oil that might be life saving as it

prevents release of phosphine. The aim of giving oil is to prevent

disintegration of the pills so that it passes out in the stool without

releasing phosphine gas. " Just in case, I will spread the word amongst my

medical hazmat colleagues.
