What kind of SN is this?

Please forgive me I am a bit slow. IS this a concentrated form of SN in liquid form or something? @See Article

YES it is!!!

Eagle eye! Well done!
How very interesting!
Now just how would one find this reagent and find out the concentration.

But the article says she had psychosis and didn't die.
Thats Sodium Nitrite Solution i think .. i think the powdered forms are purest.

Yes I agree.
Just looked up a few strep test kits and the bottles are described as holding 8ml of solution at 2 M which seems to describe the dilution per liter liquid.

I'm pretty sure mixing 25 g of NaNo2 with just 100 ml of water results in a much higher concentration than this reagent.

(Nonetheless I think it's a very interesting article you found there @.CTB !)

Oh another thing I noticed:
this was in 2015 and SN for CTB was unheard of, so they took a REALLY long time and a few transfers from ER to psychiatry to a different, larger hospital until the ICU nurse there took another blood sample and noticed the blood discolouration and then they finally considered an antidote…

If the patient had taken a bit more SN and the ICU nurse hadn't been on their toes this could have ended quite differently.
