Which Substances are Commonly Associated with Hemorrhage?
Several substances have been identified to cause hemorrhage, including:
- Anticoagulant Rodenticides: These compounds, used to control rodent populations, often cause bleeding in non-target species, including humans, when ingested. - Snake Venom: Many snake species produce venom that can cause systemic hemorrhage by disrupting blood clotting mechanisms or damaging blood vessels. - Certain Medications: Overdose or misuse of drugs like heparin and aspirin can exacerbate bleeding tendencies. - Heavy Metals: Metals such as arsenic and lead have been linked to bleeding disorders through various mechanisms, including bone marrow suppression.
