Insecticide as a method?

[seekingoblivion]

Using bug spray is a fairly common way to ctb where I live. I just imagine it must be excruciating to experience. Unfortunately I don't have many options right now so I'm considering just getting a couple cans and downing them.

this sounds really painful and unreliable, I think I'd rather buy a rope

Nothing wrong with brain storming, just be aware of the risks. If your that desperate to try something that agonizing why not keep an open mind and learn about other options before making your decision.

Cause I'm that desperate. Thanks for your feedback though. It's just that I am really REALLY not looking forward to continuing to live. If I don't find a reliable and effective way out soon I may just end up trying to slit my throat with a kitchen knife.

Painful yes but I'm not sure about reliability.

I've wondered about this for quite a bit. My reason for not trying is pretty stupid though: I can't find a way to open the canister. Anyhow, where I live, news reports of farmers dying by insecticide ingestion is somewhat common.

That said, a quick google search returned a fatality rate of 10-20% in developing countries. Perhaps you'll find this article of some use:

Patterns and problems of deliberate self‐poisoning in the developing world

Abstract. Deliberate self‐harm is a major problem in the developing world, responsible for around 600 000 deaths in 1990. The toxicity of available poisons

Thank you for this. Those stats suck though. Guess I gotta keep exploring.

On the point about opening the canister I spend time thinking about it too lol. I figured punching a hole in it might be the way haha.

I take it you're in a developing country aswell?
