#bismuth subsalicylate

[whats-in-a-sentence]

The biological importance of bismuth has long been known, particularly in the treatment of gastrointestinal problems; Pepto-Bismol contains the bismuth compound bismuth subsalicylate (figure 14.12) as its active ingredient.

Humans and toxins

(Part 2)

Another fun example is found in a popular medicine called pepto bismol. Often used to treat indigestion and diarrhea for many earth creatures, it contains an interesting ingredient. Bismuth Subsalicylate is a common ingredient found in most medications to treat digestive issues. However it is also created from a chemical element called bismuth. Bismuth is closely related to arsenic which is deadly to humans. Bismuth is used in many things but should never be consumed directly. You won't have to worry too much about accidental consumption, most humans won't simply eat the stuff.

“Therapy”

Now, what was it she said again? Right, find my center. THE center.

The circumference? The diameter of a circle. A radius? Maybe my radius? No, perhaps it’s our orbit? A planet. My planet? Earth?

Earth. Right. Earth’s a start. But where did I start?

Where do “I” start? At my birth, or now? No, at birth. Never now, always then. Then started with a Mama, right?

A Mama…

A Mom..

A Mother.

I try to stop it, but it’s hopeless and now some part of me is already searching our childhood again. Pepto pink walls of a room I’m sure another homeowner has repainted by now.

I really did try to quiet that part of myself, but she’s walking down the stairs, descending into the living room. Into the yellow walls.

Those four yellow walls…they look sick. I feel sick.

Nauseous and retreating, I recede into pink walls, praying it eases the pain in my stomach. I cry out, not really sure for who. Maybe…

A Mother?

Mother?

..Mom?

…Mama?

“3$&+@€¥?”

Not her.

Never her.

Never then, never now. But now, now is…odd. Hearing my name right now feels odd. Was I the one who said it?

It’s okay to feel odd.

I guess.

I guess we just have to feel weird sometimes. I guess sometimes we just have to be in the now.

“Could you tell me how you’re feeling right now?”

“I” wade through Bismuth Subsalicylate. “I” do my best to respond.

She wants a response.

She needs to respond.

We need a response.

Somebody just FUCKING RESPOND!

The body makes a response.

I think it blinks.

Then I blink.

Then there’s some concrete and some grass.

It’s not close. It’s in the distance.

For a second I see 2012. I see my backyard.

It’s empty.

It’s not mine. It never was.

It’s not. It’s now.

Never then, always now.

Now.

Now?

Right now it’s a world through a window.

“I” respond;

“I think I’m just seeing the world through a window.”

Bismuth / 83 Bi 北梦

Bismuth enjoys nail art, makeup and journaling. She served as a pharmacist in a small town after her graduation. Now she works under Lead in Elementia, who is training her as his replacement. She'll prepare warm drinks and soup for her colleagues at work, and bring medication to her friends who experience stomach discomfort.

Being sensitive and imaginative, she often feels lonely, and struggles to be understood. She visits cafe and shops in quiet, quaint towns in search for the answer to her longing and nostalgia. Bismuth wrote letters to Tin when he was studying abroad, filled with her warm wishes and doodles. In a bitter winter, when Tin was left alone in the Northern Land, he was comforted by Bismuth's letters.

Bismuth is close to Astatine. When they first met in Elementia, she felt such nostalgia - they must've met before, or they must've dreamt of each other before. Bismuth spends time with Astatine whenever she visits Elementia, enjoying each other's quiet presence.

Bismuth crystals have stairstep structures and iridescent oxide.

Bismuth oxychloride (pearl white) is used in cosmetics, while bismuth vanadate is used as a yellow pigment. Due to its high density and low toxicity, bismuth is used as replacement for lead.

Bismuth subsalicylate is a medication used to treat temporary discomfort of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract.

Addition of bismuth & antimony to tin can prevent phase change to grey tin. Astatine-211 is produced by bombarding Bi-209 target with alpha particles.

What is your opinion on bismuth subsalicylate?

It is a matter of life and death

…I suppose it can be necessary, at times. Other than that, I have no strong opinion.

Do you always refer to over-the-counter medication by its full scientific name? It reminds me of my sister.

People go to many extremes to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but generating green stool shouldn't be one of them.

Your morning trip to the bathrooom revealed you may have had one too many green beers last night. Do you need to be worried about green poop?

To find out all things green poop, we checked in with Mayo Clinic, UnityPoint Health, healthline.com and medicine.net.

Here's what you need to know:

Is it OK if your poop is green?

According to mayoclinic.org, all shades of brown and even green poop are considered to be normal. It is rare for the color of your poop to indicate a potentially serious intestinal condition.

Is green poop an infection?

Maybe, according to medicine.net. Many people experience green diarrhea and it will usually go away on its own.

If you're experiencing severe diarrhea symptoms when your poop is green, your stool may be an indication of something more serious and you should contact a physician.

Why is my poop green?

The color of one's poop is generally dictated by the food you consume combined with the amount of bile that exists in your poop, according to mayoclinic.org.

What is bile? It's a yellow-green fluid that digests fats.

Enzymes chemically alter bile pigments as they make their journey through the gastrointestinal tract. This is what changes the color of your poop from brown to green..

What does green poop mean?

According to mayoclinic.org, the bile doesn't have time to break down completely due to food moving through the large intestine too fast — such as diarrhea.

What causes green poop?

According to mayoclinic.org, there are few dietary items that bring about green poop:

Green food coloring (dyed beer, flavored drink mixes or ice pops).

Green leafy vegetables.

Iron supplements.

According to UnityHealth, other causes for green poop may include:

Bacterial or viral infections.

Gastrointestinal disorders − such as Crohn’s or celiac disease.

Why is my poop green, but I didn't eat anything green?

Foods using artificial or natural food coloring struggle with absorption while they pass through gastorintestinal system, according to healthline.com. This allows for blue and purple foods to leve behind a residue and that leaves poop green during the digestive process.

Such food tiems include:

Blue or purple ice pops.

Blue or purple icing.

Blueberries

Grape-flavored sodas

Red cabbage.

Does green poop mean a bad liver?

Bile is created in the liver, but green poop does not an indication that your liver is going bad, according to UnityHealth.

Why is my poop black?

According to mayoclinic.org, some dietary reasons for black poop include black licorice, iron supplements and bismuth subsalicylate — which is basically Kaopectate or Pepto-Bismol. However, you shouldn't take black poop lightly.

What does black poop mean?

Black poop may be a sign of bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract — such as the stomach — according to mayoclinic.org. Anyone who discovers black poop after a bowel movement should seek immediate medical attention.

ʚ♡ɞ emotional needs ʚ♡ɞ

has your cg fallen asleep? are they sleepy? do they need rest? or maybe they are bored, restless, or frustrated.

❥ sleepy : allow them to rest , turn on some asmr , white noise , rainy sounds , or a comfort show for them to fall asleep to .

❥ bored : first , ensure their physical needs have been 100% met . then , offer them rest . see if they need to accomplish any goals or responsibilities . finally , you guys can focus on doing something fun ! just pick something that is easy to do from bed . (i have some one on one activities down below)

❥ restless : if they aren't sleepy and we are past boredom , we should get up and stretch , do some easy tidying , get some fresh air , go on a small walk or drive , open up some windows , try yoga or meditation , have a snack outdoors , or try some outdoor photography , listen to music !

❥ frustrated : go on a small walk , accomplish a fulfilling task (watering plants , feeding pets) , tidy up your space , change your clothes or environment , practice mindfulness + affirmations , try yoga or breathing exercises .

some other strategies to get them feeling better :

❥ gift giving : try to surprise them with a homemade get well card , or think of something that they could use to get through this tough time like a water bottle or blanket in their favorite color ! maybe their favorite treat , a new movie/game/toy , or even purchasing thoughtful products for them (tissue boxes in their favorite colors , favorite essential oils , medicine in easier flavors for them . )

❥ acts of service : be mindful of anything they usually like to accomplish in their own time (cleaning at a certain time , feeding their pets , opening/closing windows , adjusting thermostat , running the dishwasher) and see if they will allow you to do it for them ! ask if there's anything you can help with like running errands or other tasks . this can relieve a lot of stress and allow them to relax !

❥ physical touch : offer cuddles , back rubs , massages , hair brushes , or even assistance moving about the house , with personal hygiene , or with eating . physical touch means a lot to many people and may be especially appreciated when our bodies are in pain because of a sickness !

❥ words of affirmation : affirmations are important , especially in a time where someone could feel like they can't do enough because of their sickness.

ʚ♡ɞ assure your big that you want to help them and remind them that you love them a whole bunch !

ʚ♡ɞ assure your big that their #1 job is to get better !!!

ʚ♡ɞ remind your big that you will be okay and that they are still capable of caring for you , as long as they care for themselves too

ʚ♡ɞ allow your big to take the time they need to rest, sleep, and feel better

❥ quality time : it is important to ensure that we don't feel lonely when we get sickie as it can make it harder to feel better ! even though we have to stay at home until we feel better , we don't have to be lonely !

ʚ♡ɞ do some one on one activities with your big (see below)

ʚ♡ɞ play games online with friends !

ʚ♡ɞ call a friend or a loved one !

ʚ♡ɞ make plans for when you feel better !

ʚ♡ɞ write a letter or a postcard !

ʚ♡ɞ send a text !

ʚ♡ɞ see if there's anyone willing to run errands for you ! - my grandma will drop off a small amount of groceries and a bouquet of flowers at my door when im sick , it always helps and it is very low risk for her as we don't actually interact ! sometimes i can wave or talk to her through the window (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

ʚ♡ɞ continuous care: ʚ♡ɞ

Your big may be under the weather for a few hours or even a couple of days ! here are a few things you can do to make continuous care a bit easier.

ʚ♡ɞ note anything specific your cg needs to accomplish within their daily routine. (ex. feeding pets, taking medication, submitting homework, paying bills, or calling in to work . .)

ʚ♡ɞ keep an eye on their water ! keep water accessible to your sick cg by keeping their cup full or using a water bottle!

ʚ♡ɞ figure out what foods will work with your cg ! ive found my cg likes a specific brand of fruit gummies and granola bars , which are light enough to hold him over until he is able to eat something a bit bigger . he can be picky when he is sick , so it is good to know what he really likes !

ʚ♡ɞ utilize reminders ! writing down things you need to remember, like medications, temperature checks, or water refills is a great way to remember what you need to do while incorporating your regression. you can use your markers, stickers, and special papers if you'd like ! however, it may be easier to use phone reminders depending on what you like best ! there are many cute and customizable reminder apps !

ʚ♡ɞ remind your cg to take care of themselves ! sometimes it's hard to get out of bed when we don't feel well. reminding your cg to wash their hands, brush their teeth and shower are all important. however, if your cg isn't feeling up to those big tasks then consider supplying them with wet wipes, mints or chewing gum (ive heard that peppermint helps bellyaches anyways!) You can also encourage them to do smaller tasks to help them feel a bit cleaner, like washing their hands, face, changing clothes, brushing their teeth/hair or even stepping outside for a breath of fresh air.

but what about me?

it's easy to feel neglected when your cg is less attentive , and that's okay !

❥ it's perfectly normal to feel sad as a result of your bigs sickness , but it is not their fault !

❥ it's important to remember that your big did not choose to be sicky and that they still love you despite how their sickness may change their behavior !

❥ your cg will get better soon !

* note : you are never entitled to care for anybody and should never feel entitled , obligated , or manipulated to give anyone your time ! a good caregiver would not make you feel as if you have to care for them and would never make you do anything that would make you uncomfortable !

despite caring for your big there are still many opportunities for you to regress !

ʚ♡ɞ things you can do with your sick big !

❥ cartoons, movies, cuddles, playing with toys or stuffies, coloring, small arts and crafts, reading, storytelling, small card or board games

ʚ♡ɞ incorporate your regression !

❥ play doctor or if that's not for you, play personal assistant !

ʚ♡ɞ reward yourself !

❥ give yourself stickers or a treat ! if you and your cg already have a rewarding system , ask for extra for being such a good little one and taking care of your big !

ʚ♡ɞ color and sticker-fy reminders, notes, and get well cards

ʚ♡ɞ and dont forget , there is nothing ever wrong with regressing on your own !

❥ i have my own personal list of quiet, solo regressor to-dos here !

kjs for WIP Wednesday please, and may I also ask what dog at the door is about? I immediately googled Bismuth subsalicylate and dimenhydrinate. 🤣

Oh dog at the door and your ever mutating identity. Its changed titles a few times, it was tuleloits for a while, it was halloween for a while, its dog at the door now - anyway - needless to say it has changed trajectory several times, but the current way forward that seems a little more concrete than any of the other versions of it is this:

dog at the door is probably the weirdest and most conceptual thing I've tried to write at this point and it is routinely kicking my ass. Being somewhat intentionally vague; its a canon compliant Steve POV character study using a field guide as the framing device for explaining the shifting reality of Hawkins now that the Upside Down has changed reality, and surviving in it, in parallel with Steve's changing reality as it pertains to his relationship with himself and how he's compartmentalized everything that's happened to him prior to All of This. There are also elements of Come Back Wrong/Kas (I don't know what else to call it but I wouldn't say its Kas!Eddie in the way the fandom tends to engage with the concept in a very general way) as a disrupting element to what Steve's trying to negotiate with himself and this new reality.

Hopefully that's something resembling an explanation??

kjs wip

So like, here’s the thing: despite being something of a low level anti-celebrity over in Battery it’s mostly just for talking too much. Wanted Dead or Incredibly Dead for the Crime of Being Fuckin’ Annoying.
