It was 1831. In front of his distinguished colleagues at the French Academy of Medicine, Professor Touery drank a lethal dose of poison and lived to tell the tale. He had combined the deadly poison with a antidote now commonly used in emergence in cases of acute poisoning.. Can any one tell the name of antidote?
1. NAC
2. Activated Charcoal
3. Naloxone
4. Thiamine
5. Dextrose

strychnine acts on inhibitory spinal interneurons which release Glycine as the inhibitory neurotransmitter. result is uninhibited activity of alpha motoneurons - spasticity, opisthotonic posturing etc. so the slightest sensory stimulus produces such severe spasms. that is why strychnine poisoning is considered as the differential diagnosis of tetanus!
elementary my dear Watson!
