Iron is naturally present in the food you eat -- it is found in some meats, plants and grains. It is also available in supplements. The recommended daily allowance is determined by gender and age. [livestrong.com]
A fatality resulting from a severe facial burn, which produced acute systemic fluoride poisoning with profound hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia, is presented. [journals.lww.com]
A case of fluoride poisoning is presented which was manifested by severe hypocalcemia, ventricular arrhythymias, and respiratory failure. Treatment of this poisoning, including peritoneal dialysis, is discussed. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Entire Body System
- Gastric Lavage
Empty the Stomach by inducing vomiting with Emetics For patient with depressed “Gag Reflex” Induced Vomiting is Contraindicated and Endotracheal Intubation should be performed before Gastric Lavage. i. Give orally soluble calcium in any form. ii. [drchetan.com]
Here a gastric lavage (stomach pumping) may be considered and calcium (possibly in the form of milk) will be given. In most instances there is no permanent effects of acute fluoride poisoning. [healthhype.com]
A gastric lavage is done to wash out the gastric content. Calcium or milk will help to treat fluoride poisoning. In majority of cases after treatment there is no permanent damage observed in the patient. [tandurust.com]
The parents wrote in a description of the incident that the child probably swallowed less than half a dozen (4 tablets were found at gastric lavage). Fluoride was used as insecticide and rat poison. Related patents can be found at my homepage. [fluoride-history.de]
Respiratoric
- Aspiration
Perform gastric aspiration and lavage. Small-bore nasogastric tube aspiration, followed by lavage, is recommended because of the potential severity of this ingestion and the ineffective adsorption of fluoride to activated charcoal. [emedicine.medscape.com]
A summary in the Final Report stated that post mortem examination revealed aspiration of gastric contents with pulmonary necrosis and inflammation. [fluoridation.com]
Neurologic
- Irritability
[…] after bathing or showering in chlorine – filtered water Heart palpitations and increased heart rate without exertion Tea drinking: causes gastric pain, upset stomach, heart palpitations or “the jitters” which are similar to strong coffee Gum disease: irritated [homenaturalcures.com]
[…] bowel, nausea, diarrhea without apparent cause, heartburn and upper bowel pain especially after drinking a full glass of water Gum disease – irritated or bleeding gums despite good hygiene and diet; gums heal when you use unfluoridated toothpaste Heart [slweb.org]
It causes irritation and inflammation of the mucus lining of gastrointestinal system. Too much of fluoride precipitates hydrofluoric acid in stomach which leads to irritation of the stomach and intestinal lining. [tandurust.com]
Irritation of the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract. Binds to calcium ions and affects utilization. Affects a number of enzymes responsible for energy production, transmission of nerve impulses and blood coagulation. [healthhype.com]
Irritability and lethargy may also occur. If the toxicity is severe, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure and rapid breathing may develop. [livestrong.com]
- Tremor
Tremors. Arrhythmias. Joint stiffness. Shortness of breath ( dyspnea ). Low levels of calcium (hypocalcemia), magnesium (hypomagnesemia) and glucose (hypoglycemia) in the blood. High levels of potassium in the blood (hyperkalemia). [healthhype.com]
Symptoms of a fluoride overdose include: Abdominal pain Abnormal taste in the mouth (salty or soapy taste) Seizures Diarrhea Drooling Eye irritation (if placed in eye) Headache Heart attack Irregular or slow heartbeat Nausea and vomiting Shallow breathing Tremors [medlineplus.gov]
Cramps in muscles Headache Muscle weakness Tremor Stiffness of joints Palpitation Shortness of breath Rise of potassium level in body. Convulsion in case of acute poisoning. Increased risk of fractures. [tandurust.com]
[…] any of the following side effects occur, as they may be signs of severe fluoride overdose: Black, tarry stools; bloody vomit; diarrhea; drowsiness; faintness; increased watering of mouth; nausea or vomiting; shallow breathing; stomach cramps or pain; tremors [fluoride-history.de]
- Seizure
Symptoms of the third stage of iron toxicity include low blood pressure, fever and seizures. Liver failure may occur, causing low blood sugar, excessive or prolonged bleeding and jaundice -- yellowish eyes and skin. [livestrong.com]
Symptoms of a fluoride overdose include: Abdominal pain Abnormal taste in the mouth (salty or soapy taste) Seizures Diarrhea Drooling Eye irritation (if placed in eye) Headache Heart attack Irregular or slow heartbeat Nausea and vomiting Shallow breathing [medlineplus.gov]
Seizures may result from both hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia. Severe fluoride toxicity will result in multiorgan failure. Central vasomotor depression as well as direct cardiotoxicity also may occur. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
NaF, MFP, etc.), the age and acid-base status of the individual, and the elapsed time between exposure and the initiation of treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Packed with more than 1800 colour diagrams, illustrations and radiological images, the treatment of various neurosurgical subspecialties such as epilepsy and cerebral palsy, is also discussed. [books.google.com]
How well someone does depends on how much fluoride was swallowed and how quickly treatment is received. The faster a person gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery. [medlineplus.gov]

Prognosis
If the poisoned patient can be supported for 24 hours, the prognosis improves markedly, although delayed toxicity can occur. [link.springer.com]
Prognosis Death may result from ingesting as little as 2 g of fluoride in an adult and 16 mg/kg in children. Symptoms may appear with 3-5 mg/kg of fluoride. Estimated toxic dose for fluoride ingestion is 5-10 mg/kg. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
[…] bone mineral density and increase skeletal fragility, leading to increased fracture risk. [5] In addition to effects on bone, a decrease in insulin sensitivity and insulin signaling has been reported in an animal model of chronic fluoride toxicity. [6] Etiology [emedicine.medscape.com]
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF ACUTE FLUORIDE POISONING AND THEIR ETIOLOGY The signs and symptoms of acute fluoride poisoning are based principally on the report of fluoride poisoning in Alaska (in USA, 1992. 14,26 The mechanism of the occurrence of the symptoms [fluoride-class-action.com]

Its toxicity stems from the similarity of fluoroacetate to acetate; the available evidence suggests that the fluoride component does not contribute. [7] Epidemiology United States statistics In 2015, the American Association of Poison Control Centers [emedicine.medscape.com]

However, an epidemiological study found that a high-fluoride area had one-fifth the Alzheimer's that a low-fluoride area had, [31] and a 2002 study found that fluoride increased the urinary excretion of aluminum. [32] References [ edit ] ^ Gosselin, RE [en.wikipedia.org]
Pathophysiology

Pathophysiology Fluoride has several mechanisms of toxicity. Upon ingestion, the GI tract is the earliest and most commonly affected organ system. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
Prevention: In order to prevent fluoride poisoning from accidentally ingestion of toothpastes, most dentists recommend: For infants (0-1 year old): No toothpaste should be used. [softdental.com]
[…] to implement as: • Throwing ice cubes in your water to make it more “structured” • Skipping breakfast, as it could be making you fat • Eating up to 75 percent of your calories each day in fat for optimal health, reduction of heart disease, and cancer prevention [books.google.com]

It is probably best known for playing an important role in dental health by preventing dental caries and assisting with tooth strength. Effects of Fluoride Fluoride in water and toothpaste works in two ways for maintaining strong and healthy teeth. [healthhype.com]
Fluoride is a chemical commonly used to prevent tooth decay. Fluoride overdose occurs when someone takes more than the normal or recommended amount of this substance. This can be by accident or on purpose. This article is for information only. [medlineplus.gov]
