What harm does sulfur do to the human body

Sulfur is a chemical substance. People often put sulfur into soap to make sulfur soap. Sulfur soap can kill bacteria and disinfect, and can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria. Some people who often suffer from allergies and acne can use sulfur soap to wash their bodies to inhibit bacteria. However, sulfur is a chemical substance after all, so it is also harmful to the human body. Let's learn about it together below.

Sulfur is an important type of inorganic pesticides. The product is a yellow solid or powder with a distinct odor and can evaporate. Sulfur aqueous suspension is slightly acidic, insoluble in water, and reacts with alkali to form polysulfides. When sulfur burns, it emits a blue flame and produces sulfur dioxide gas. Sulfur is often processed into a suspension concentrate for the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests. It is safe for humans and animals and is unlikely to cause phytotoxicity to crops. Sulfur is a multifunctional agent. In addition to its bactericidal effect, it can also kill mites and insects. It can be used to prevent and control powdery mildew and leaf worms on various crops, and its effectiveness can last up to about half a month.

Sulfur gum suspension is mainly used for the prevention and control of powdery mildew of melons, such as cucumber, melon (cantaloupe), pumpkin, etc. When using, dilute 50% sulfur gum suspension into 200-400 times liquid spray. Spray once every 10 days or so. Generally, use the medicine twice for mild cases and three times for severe cases. The control effect of sulfur preparations is closely related to the temperature, and the suitable temperature for use is 4-32℃. In the low temperature season of early spring or late autumn, the concentration should be high, and 200-300 times of liquid should be sprayed more to ensure the efficacy. In the high temperature season of summer, the concentration should be low, and 400-500 times of liquid should be sprayed more to avoid drug damage.

Sulfur vapor can cause serious damage to the lungs. There are also antiseptic soaps made with sulfur, but the sulfur content here is very low and it only comes into contact with the skin (think about it, it is all used for sterilization, what effect will it have on you if the amount is large -_-) Some experts also pointed out that poisonous sulfur ginger and medicated ginger are rampant in the market, which will corrode the intestines and stomach of the consumer and may even cause cancer in the long run. Those who directly smoke sulfur ginger will suffer the most serious health effects, as their respiratory tract and lungs will be severely damaged. Sulfur is a metal sulfide. When it seeps into food and is consumed, it can cause damage to the human nervous system. Mild symptoms include dizziness, blurred vision, distraction, and general fatigue. At the same time, if consumed for a long time, it will cause symptoms such as conjunctivitis, skin eczema, and in severe cases it will affect people's liver and kidney functions. In daily life, you should try to avoid eating foods contaminated with sulfur.
