Phenol poisoning

Commonly used phenol drugs are calcic acid (phenol), lyosol (coal phenol soap solution), wood oil, raoxine (resorcinol), hexachlorophenol, and odorant solution (coal tar soap solution). Etc. Among them, carbolic acid is the most toxic and corrosive. Phenols can stimulate, paralyze, and cause necrosis on the skin and mucous membranes. After absorption, the effects on the central nervous system are first excited and then suppressed, and can directly damage the heart muscle and small blood vessels. Pediatric poisoning is mostly caused by accidental administration; if the skin is rubbed with a large amount, it can also be caused by rapid absorption.
