Nicotine overdose / poisoning on Ekstra Sterk
Hello mates!
Recently, I went through something that I won't forget. I wanted to share it here to possibly help people who are in the same situation or people to avoid this.
Three days ago I was spending night with my friends. We were watching movies and had some snus. (I'm not an user, but sometimes I feel like taking snus. So I used approximately once or couple times in a week for a month.) I took my first snus of the day at like 7pm. It was General's Ekstra Sterk (16mg). I had it under my lip for about 20 minutes and took it off. Then after some time, I put another one and after 20 minutes removed it. Same thing third time and the time was about 10pm.
But the fourth time wasn't so smart. That is to say when I took my fourth Ekstra Sterk and one General's 8mg and put them both under my lip. After a few minutes I started to feel dizzy, and I knew that the reason was too much snus. (I've had a mild nicotine poisoning once before when I tried snus for the first time. 4 Ettans in a row, puked and felt good again.)
I walked by the door and waited for a puke. It didn't come. I sat down for a few mins and thought "well, it's over." It was 11pm, my friends left and I went to sleep. It was the worst night I've ever had. I felt like throwing up all the time but I couldn't throw up. I was sweating and my heart was bumping out of my chest. Still, I tried to sleep. At 3am I was fine again. I left normal and good.
Next morning, I woke up at 7am. I went to the shower and ate breakfast. But eating didn't feel too good. Anyways I ate and left for school. In the bus on the way to school I started feeling bad again. I felt like puking so I left the bus a few stops early and walked to school about a mile.
After the first lesson I left school cause felt so bad. I walked to the woods near the school and tried to throw up. I couldn't. Then I went home (walked about 4 miles) and to sleep. I slept for about 2 hours. I felt normal again. Still, I had this freaking fear of dying and stuff since there's tons of stuff on the internet about dying of nicotine. 60mgs should kill an adult sooo.. I was scared. I'm a 16 years old, 6 ft tall (180cm) / 182 pounds (68kg) male.
I went to school normally on Tuesday and felt normal.
I spent an ordinary night and went to school this morning. I'm feeling normal and now had the courage to call the poisoning information center. (I don't know why didn't I just call this place or go to the doctor's in the first place) They said I had a mid-level nicotine poisoning which isn't dangerous anymore and I can continue my life normally. Gosh I was relieved.
So be "ekstra" careful when using strong snus' and if you have some problems, forget Google, it only depresses you with its stupid not-knowing results about nicotine. Call 911 or those poison information services.
Have a good day and use snus properly!
