Anticoagulants are based on warfarin and related substances. The material found commercially is ready to be diluted, so that the content of baits prepared to keep rodent populations down is usually low. The animals that die are those that repeatedly eat the substance, reaching very low coagulation levels. If you do not ingest a large dose, it is difficult to be harmed; in fact, you need to swallow more than 1 kg of bait to take a big risk.
Diagnosis and treatment
