Detoxify Yourself
When I was a kid, especially in the years of my early development, I use to play with the things I make use of. One of those things, that we were been taught of using are crayons and toys that we are ought to play with. Well, because of being so ignorant within those period, I even attempted many times of taking bits of them and swallow, until my Mom will suddenly take it away from my mouth.^
Like this kid who is definitely quite hungry for a blue crayon snack.Wew!

Lately, there were rumors of crayons and other art materials that contain a high lead level that was distributed in the market. In this case, when these lead-containing materials are ingested, especially of the children, the total lead content of the body will increase. Thereby, when it reaches above its threshold level, lead poisoning has the possibility to occur.
Lead toxicity may occur if it is ingested or inhaled with a concentration of 5 mg/day
If 5 g is ingested, it will totally lead you to an immediate toxicity.

Toxicologist are the one so called heroes in this matter who were responsible for the different kinds of substances involved and their different aspects and levels of TOXICITY...!!!
Generally, toxicology is the field that deals with toxic substance, drugs, their characteristics, dosage, and etc. Toxicology has been divided into three distinct subgroup which are the following: clinical toxicology, environmental toxicology.
Drug are used as medications, but in some point, they become harmful as it triggers its side effects.

For example, Aspirin also known as acetylsalicylic acid, an analgesics and in high dosage as an anti-inflammatory drugs. In low dosage it is used therapeutically of patients who are experiencing heart attack and strokes. On the other hand, a high dose of aspirin is used to treat severe inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arhtritis. The primary mechanism underlying the effect of acetylsalicylic acid is that it blocks the enzyme cyclooxygenase.
Then, thromboxane A2 cannot be produced, thereby inhibiting the platelet to form a platelet patch. This phenomenon makes the blood pathway smooth and appropriate for this patients.
Typically, like acetaminophen, aspirin is used to treat headaches, fever, pain, and other inflammatory responses. Aside from this, taking of aspirin of children who had viral infection like chickenpox to treat its symptoms is no longer done, because it increase the risk of having a Reye's syndrome.

The therapeutic level of aspirin/salicylate in the serum are approximately 15- 30mg/dl.
Hence, an increase level of intake over its threshold will yield certain symptom such as gastrointestinal bleeding, liver diseases, hyperpyrexia, hypoglycemia, hyper and even deafness.

It's also a great thing we have some government sectors that deals with such things such BFAD and others to ensure the safety and the quality of the substance we take in inside our body in our every day life .
Well, sure thing is that we keep ourself always healthy enough and to avoid too much exposure from these intoxicating substances.
Starting from this time I will be posting about things in real life that may or may not be related to the post. Be aware there might be some delights included in them.^_^
REAL LIFE
Literally, there are people around the world who are exposed to these things. In some parts of the world, children are the ones who mostly comprised the workers in such horrible plantation. (e.g. marijuana)
In a deeper aspect, there are a lots of people around who are barely toxicated, especially students. Most of the times, we cram in doing our responsibilities as a student, and gone to an extent that we are hardly confused what or where to start first. These are the times also the level of our stress gone to its peak. THEN at the end you will barely receive, "What's Wrong?, STUDY HARD" from the 3rd years. XD
The TIME that brain capacity OVERLOADS. The TIME the level of our ATTITUDE is being determined. Above all this TOXICITY accompanied simultaneously by frustrations, downs, and difficulties in life, always mind yourself you have many more MOUNTAINS to move in your life. Learn to make what you call PITSTOPS, to take a short break. Make a HALFTIME DINNER with your loved ones. PLAY some interesting game with your friends. OR maybe SIT around for awhile and gaze the beautiful and magestic horizon created by our MAKER.
Anything that will DETOXIFY YOU from a STRESSSsssFUL and TOXXXxxICATING WORLD OUT THERE(NOT A LONG ONE ENDING IN STUBBORNNESS) will do.
A COMPLETE and BALANCED life is the greatest thing that God wants us to achieve.
Aim to attain IT, NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE!
