Having to be in front of the ac at all times.
My husband has antifreeze poisining. He insists on having the AC on fullblast at all times .
A gene that allows ticks to produce an antifreeze protein to resist frostbite and lower the freezing point of blood. The ticks have a protein called IAFGP that is triggered during winter months, which protects them from the cold. Mice that were injected with the protein were able to not get frostbite at subzero temperatures. They then genetically engineered the mice and breed them to have babies with the gene and they produced the antifreeze protein, IAFGP. The mice resists frostbite. One day, some humans could genetically engineer themselves with the antifreeze tick gene. That way, there's no more frostbite at subzero temperatures(below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, 0 degrees Celsius) until much lower temperatures(like 5 degrees Fahrenheit, -15 degrees Celsius or something). Eventually, the technology will be affordable to all.
Tyler: I just genetically engineered myself with the antifreeze tick gene. Now I don't have to worry about frostbite.
AntiFreeze|AntiBoil:
A concentrated or pre-diluted solution containing substances/chemicals generally used in car radiators as a heat transfer fluid to prevent freezing in cold conditions and to prevent boiling over as the engine heats up after it's started.
Antifreeze generally contains a substance called "Ethylene Glycol" (also known as Ethane-1,2-Diol), which is a superior antifreeze when mixed with water compared to Glycerine/Glycerol or Methanol.
Ethylene Glycol has a sweet taste, making it attractive to animals; young children; or uneducated people.. but it is toxic if ingested (swallowed) due to the way it's metabolised:
Ethylene Glycol itself is more or less non-toxic, but when ingested it slowly but steadily gets metabolised to toxic organic acids that can cause illness, damage the kidneys leading to renal failure and can be fatal.
Bittering agents are added to antifreeze nowadays, so it no longer tastes sweet, but it tastes bitter instead.. however it is still poisonous if swallowed, so always keep antifreeze out of reach of children and away from pets.
If someone has ingested Antifreeze, take them to the hospital BEFORE symptoms occur as the Glycol itself may cause drunkenness but isn't really toxic at all until it gets metabolised; meaning that if the victim gets immediate treatment, the medications used in the hospital will stop the body from processing the antifreeze to its toxic metabolites, and it will eventually be harmlessly urinated out.
My car might be low on AntiFreeze/AntiBoil as it is overheating, could I possibly have a leak.
