[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2965886, member: 5412"] Just adding some information I looked at tonight. Warfarin is an anticoagulant (blood thinner). Warfarin reduces the formation of blood clots. Warfarin is used to treat or prevent blood clots in veins or arteries, which can reduce the risk of [B]stroke[/B], heart attack, or other serious conditions. Warfarin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide. [SIZE=4][B][URL='https://www.drugs.com/warfarin.html']Warfarin Uses, Dosage, Side Effects - Drugs.com[/URL][/B][/SIZE] [URL]https://www.drugs.com/warfarin.html[/URL] The latest [URL='http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/bacon-preservative-tested-feral-hog-poison-24244652']USDA program[/URL] includes $1.5 million for the research center headquartered in Fort Collins CO, where scientists have made sodium nitrite studies a top priority. Sodium nitrite, used as a salt to preserve meat, can keep red blood cells from grabbing oxygen in live animals. Unlike people, pigs make very low levels of an enzyme that counteracts the chemical. Feral hogs that eat a large enough dose of sodium nitrite show symptoms similar to carbon dioxide poisoning. So far, baits haven’t hit the 90 percent kill rate on test pigs needed for EPA consideration. Once it does, approval could take up to five years. One problem is creating baits in which feral hogs will eat a lethal dose. Sodium nitrite tastes nasty and breaks down quickly in the presence of air or water, making it easier for pigs to smell and avoid, said Fred Vercauteren, project leader in Fort Collins. Microencapsulating the compound masks its smell and keeps it stable longer. [/QUOTE]
