Ingestion Ingestion of Bismuth salts (bismuth compounds) can cause nausea, vomiting,diarrhea, anorexia, headache, discoloration of the muocous membrane, ulcerativestomatitis, gingivitis, headache, kidney damage and rarely affect the liver (mildjaundice). Acute poisoning is seldom from water-insoluble inorganic bismuth saltssince they are hardly absorbed by oral administration. The relatively high toxicity
Product code: BI150 Product name: BISMUTHSUBNITRATE, POWDER, USP

is more likely to be caused by reduction of nitrate to nitrite. May cause blurred orfoggy vision. Ingestion of large doses of nitrates causes gastrointestinal tractirritation with nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea (possibly bloody, fromgastrointestinal hemorrhage). Under some circumstances, when the nitrate isconverted by bacteria in the stomach to nitrite, it may also causemethemoglobinemia, cyanosis (a bluish discoloration of the skin due to deficientoxygenation of the blood), convulsions and death. Methemoglobinemia ischaracterized by dizziness, lightheadedness, vertigo, weakness, fatigue, lethargy,convulsions (seizures), drowsiness, headache, mental impairment, shortness ofbreath, cyanosis, rapid heart rate (tachycardia) or slow heart rate (bradycardia),hypotension, arrhythmias, tingling sensation, flushing, chocolate brown coloredblood, unconciousness.
Aspiration hazard No information available.
Delayed and immediate effects as well as chronic effects from short and long-term exposure
Chronic Toxicity Chronic exposures to large amounts of Bismuth or Bismuth salts/compounds areassociated with Bismuth lines (a blue-black lines) on the gums, foul breath(halitosis), gastric irritation, diarrhea, gingivitis, ulcerative stomatitis, nausea,decrease or loss of appetite and weight, headache, joint pains (rheumatic pain),diarrhea, and liver and kidney damage. The kidneys are the site of highestconcentration with the liver being considerably lower. There may also be mentalchanges (memory loss, confusion, delirium, disorientation, delusions, psychosis,depression), insomnia, difficulty in concentration, tremor, abnormal coordination,nervousness), blood changes (lymphocytosis, agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia)and bone marrow depression. It may also cause Bismuth encephalopathy whichis characterized by mental confusion, ataxia (disordered gait), myoclonus(myoclonic jerks), and dysarthria. This product is also a nitrate, therefore nitratepoisoning can occur. Prolonged or repeated nitrate ingestion may affect theurinary system (kidneys) and also may affect the blood, resulting inmethemoglobin with attendant cyanosis, anorexia, hyperpnea and later dyspneaand chocolate brown colored blood. The primary toxic effects of nitrates includeorthostatic hypotension and methemoglobinemia, Other symptoms includemuscular weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, throbbing headache,mental impairment, incoordination, seizures,and convulsions, bradycardia ortachydardia, dysrhythmias, dyspnea. Prolonged or repeated ingestion of largeamounts of nitrates may affect the liver and can cause gastroenteritis, nausea,vomiting, abdominal pain, weight loss. Possible coma and death.
