Hi,
Thank you for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com.
I can understand your dilemma, as there is very little authentic information on this subject.
However, I would like to point out that to cause toxicity, a large amount of DDT toxin should enter the body. Small amounts of DDT is not very toxic for humans.
DDT may adversely affect hormonal status, and is linked to Alzheimer's disease in one study.
Small amounts of DDT get detoxified, and significant storage does not occur in humans.
Best wishes,

My real concern is not DDT toxification.
I Just want to understand why it is not impossible for some toxin which could not be detoxified by liver or enzyme to attack targeted cells or organs again and again until people die.
I learn that toxin which could not be detoxified is moving to fat or bone and after time flows they released and move to the blood flow and attack the cells or organs again.
That means once toxicant which is not toxified gets into the body, it is going to kill the person after time flows....
But when I find out the books.. there are only two symptoms. one is acute symptoms and the other is chronicle symptoms... And doctors says that if there is no symptom, it is OK...why there is no window periods symptoms. Only one shot could make person die...
Really want to know the reason why it is not impossible. Pls. explain that with scienticfic explanation. Thx.
Thank you for getting back. The maximum damage usually occurs on day one of toxin exposure, preferably within the first few minutes and hours after the toxin exposure. Even if a small amount of toxin is not detoxified and left in the body, it would cause minor symptoms, as the amount of toxin would not multiply over time, it would remain the same. However, if there is continued exposure to the toxin, then, there could be more damage to tissue and cells, and may lead to death in some cases. Best wishes, Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) |
