Resolved question:
What I really want to know is for the harmful chemical substance. Not fetal poison. (poison could show symptom right after injection)
Among all chemical substance. I know there are alot of harmful chemical substance.
My concern is if harmful chemical substance get into directly my vein with I.V , could it also show the bad symptom to my body?(some doctor say it is absolutly, the other say maybe) (just like poison do) If all bad checmicals show bad symptom right after injection, I could erase my anxiety(I sometimes imagine that while I sleeping someone could inject something to me, although I know it is unrealistic). because i don't have any symptom. But if there is alot of exception (do not show any symptom) among harmful chemical substance, I want to know which one could be exceptional. until now making my mind uncomfortable is mysterious chemical substance that I don't know (no symptom right now but destroy my body after time flow...) Sorry to ask difficult question. If I know that I could make my mind peaceful . thank you very much.

Thanks for choosing Doctor Spring.
It seems from your query that you are very anxious about harmful chemical substances being given to you or injected into you. Some of the commonest harmful chemical substances are asbestos/ industrial chemicals/radiation/ air pollution/ radon gas. However all these, as soon as they enter the body they immediately show effects barring air pollution which will show symptoms later on.
Especially if some harmful chemical is injected it will show almost immediate effect since it reaches the blood stream quicker compared to when taken orally.
Can you please specify what kind of chemical are you exactly worried about? Also are you exposed to any such chemical?
Thanks,
Doctor Spring
Actually I have no idea for what kinds of chemical do I afraid. I just want to know that even though it has a toxic and dangerous to human could it possible to inject to body with I.v without symptom right after injection. If almost chemical substance injecting to the vein directly show some symptom I makes my mid peaceful. Thank you.
Hello. Thank you for your reply. For drugs and other chemicals to act on our body, they should reach our bloodstream. So when we swallow a tablet, say a painkiller, it has to be digested and absorbed from our gut first. From there it goes to the liver and here it may be broken down partly and only a portion of it may reach our bloodstream. This portion is what is responsible for the effects of relief of pain anywhere in our body. So for a tablet or anything taken by mouth to show its action, it takes anything from 30 minutes to an hour. However, when a drug/chemical is injected into a vein, it reaches our bloodstream immediately and thus its action and effects are immediate. This is the reason why in medical emergencies, patients are given medications through intravenous and other injections. ALL dangerous and toxic chemicals/drugs injected will definitely show symptoms IMMEDIATELY. Not only that, when your vein is pierced, the pain is of such a high intensity, that it will wake you up from even deep sleep. These symptoms can be anything from minor ones like swelling and burning of your vein, to difficulty breathing, paralysis etc. In summary, there is NO way that anyone can inject anything into you without you knowing or experiencing symptoms. I hope that settles your fear. Let me know if I can assist you any further. Thank you.
