https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_azide

Sodium azide is the inorganic compound with the formula NaN3. This colorless salt is the gas-forming component in legacy[citation needed] car airbag systems. It is used for the preparation of other azide compounds. It is an ionic substance, is highly soluble in water and is very acutely poisonous.[5]

The Reagent Solution contains a harmful chemical (see table below). If the solution contacts the skin or eye, flush with copious amounts of water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice: https://www.poison.org/contact-us or 1-800-222-1222.

Chemical Name/CAS GHS Code for each Ingredient Concentration

Sodium Azide/26628-2 2-8 Acute Tox. 2 (Oral), H300 Acute Tox. 1 (Dermal), H310 0.0125%

STORAGE AND STABILITY Store kit between35.6-86°F (2-30°C). Ensure all test components are at room temperature before use. The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test is stable until the expiration date marked on the outer packaging and containers

Sodium azide, used mainly as a preservative in aqueous laboratory reagents and biologic fluids and as a fuel in automobile airbag gas generants, has caused deaths for decades. Its exposure potential for the general population increases as the use of airbags increase. In order to characterize the known health effects of sodium azide in humans and the circumstances of their exposure, the authors conducted a systematic review of the literature from 1927 to 2002 on human exposure to sodium azide and its health effects. The most commonly reported health effect from azide exposure is hypotension, almost independent of route of exposure. Most industrial exposures are by inhalation. Most laboratory exposures or suicide attempts are by ingestion. Most of the reported cases involved persons working in laboratories. The time between exposure and detection of hypotension can predict outcome. Fatal doses occur with exposures of >or=700 mg (10 mg/kg). Nonlethal doses ranged from 0.3 to 150 mg (0.004 to 2 mg/kg).

What about repeated exposure to micro doses, right inside the nose?

You replied to me on my comment but then deleted your reply before I finished my response. I'm posting your deleted reply here in my comment and answering your question.

https://youtu.be/1B0xNfFVmKU?t=44 and where is the "reagent" solution going here?

Here's my response:

Did you watch the video at all? At the 0:32 second mark the reagent solution is added to the test card. The swab does not contact the reagent solution before you put it in your nose. After you swab your nose, the swab is then placed in the card slot to come in contact with the reagent solution. It's very clear what the process is and shows that only the swab comes in contact with the subject being tested. Why do you think the reagent solution goes in your body when the video shows nothing of the sort?

I deleted because there was no point posting it

Did you watch the video at all?

Yes that's exactly why I deleted it

Worst case scenario this thing will be poorly handled by people on daily basis, because they aren't going to use gloves to begin with, just like the guy in the vid

Why do you think the reagent solution goes in your body when the video shows nothing of the sort?

Because maybe the guy in the video should wear gloves in the first place? Just in case "The Reagent Solution contains a harmful chemical (see table below). If the solution contacts the skin or eye..."

What is the amount of sodium azide in the reagent solution? Is it above the permissible levels? You don't know so you can't truly evaluate the danger of its presence in the solution. You've ingested many. may harmful chemicals in your lifetime but they didn't kill you and you didn't even know they were there. How many people have died from acute toxicity caused by a BinaxNOW home test? Do you even have any numbers on that? Show me one death caused by sodium azide from a jewflu home test mishap. I'll wait while you gather your data.

Now tell me again why according to your "logic", this is just nothing at all, geniusfag
