[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4045510, member: 5412"] I had to look that one up. I like it. Sodium nitrite works through reducing the amount of oxygen in the blood by reducing the poisoned animals’ haemoglobin levels. The poisoned animals lose consciousness and die due to lack of oxygen being delivered by the blood to the brain and heart. Death usually occurs within one to three hours after bait ingestion and most pigs are found within 200 metres of the baiting station. Signs of poisoning include progressive lethargy, incoordination and reduced consciousness. Difficulty in breathing is noted close to death and some animals experience seizures followed by coma and death. Pigs may show some signs of distress for 5-10 minutes prior to death. The risk of non-target species ingesting the sodium nitrite toxin is relatively low due to the mandatory specialised bait boxes used to contain the baits. Sodium nitrite also degrades relatively quickly in the environment should baits be inadvertently carried by birds or animals. This reduces the risk of non-target animals being poisoned. Sodium nitrite is also not considered a risk to animals eating poisoned animals (known as secondary poisoning).
