🎯 It acts primarily on the blood, causing destruction of red blood cells, leading to anemia, jaundice, and systemic toxic symptoms.
📖 Boericke writes:
T. N. T.
(TRINITROTOLUENE)
Symptoms found in munition workers handling T. N. T who inhale and ingest it and also absorb some through the skin. They were compiled by Dr. Conrad Wesselhoeft and published in the December, 1926 number of the Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy.
The destructive action of T. N. T on the red blood corpuscles is responsible for the anaemia and the jaundice with their secondary symptoms. The hemoglobin is changed so it cannot act satisfactorily as an oxygen carrier and as a result we have breathlessness, dizziness, headache, faintness, palpitation, undue fatigue, muscle cramps and cyanosis; also drowsiness, depression and insomnia. Later stages of the poisoning produce toxic jaundice and aplastic anaemia. The jaundice is the result of cellular destruction in contrast to obstructive jaundice.
