A brother of my good friend passed away 24 hours ago after ingesting weed killer (paraquat); accidentally? On purpose? Unluckily he just could not tell anymore.
Paraquat weed killer can easily be found in plantations. It is simply known as "kopi-O" due to its colour but it's tasteless. It can rapidly absorbed into the blood stream 10 minutes after ingestion. One teaspoonful of it is lethal.
As a paramedic, so far, NONE of my patients who ingested paraquat ever survived!
