Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

According to Gorbarot's third law, the antidote to a mixed poison is greater than the sum of the antidote to its individual components. It can also be deduced that the effect of a mixed poison is greater than the sum of the effects of each individual component.

There are similar theories on the scientific side. When two or more drugs are used together, if their directions of action are consistent, achieving mutually reinforcing effects is called synergy. According to the different strengths of synergistic effects, they can be divided into additive effects and reinforcing effects. Additive effect means that when drugs are used together, their total effect is equal to the sum of the effects of each drug when used alone. Enhancement is when drugs are used together, the total effect exceeds the sum of the effects of each drug when used alone. When drugs are used together, if they have opposite effects and achieve the effect of weakening or disappearing each other, it is called antagonism. [1]

People have learned from long-term poisoning practices that most mixed poisons can produce additive effects, and some can produce enhancing effects. Only a few people who are not skilled in preparing mixed poisons will produce antagonism due to fighting poison with poison. effect.

Due to the synergistic effect of mixed poisons, it can cause a variety of harm to the human body. Additional complications may occur when potentiation occurs, and these additional symptoms may sometimes lead to misjudgment of the ingredients in the poison mixture. If antagonistic effects occur, sometimes drinking more hot water can also detoxify.

To sum up, when detoxifying a person poisoned by mixed poisons, the antidote must not only remove the damage caused by the mixed poison itself, but also need to solve the problem of concurrent injuries.

The simplest treatment method is to use a broad-spectrum antidote that can relieve the toxicity and complications of the mixed poison at the same time.

For example, when facing soldiers attacking, the best way to deal with them is to use machine guns, when facing tank assaults, use anti-tank RPGs, and the best way to deal with coordinated infantry-tank attacks is to use 460 for all beings to be equal.

When some ingredients in the mixed poison cannot be solved by the broad-spectrum antidote used, you can first solve the poisons that can be solved, and then find ways to deal with other poisons that cannot be dealt with. However, the result of this is often that the poisoned patient dies before a detoxification method for the remaining poison is found. Therefore, the common method to solve the problem of mixed poisons is to use multiple broad-spectrum antidotes at the same time on poisoned patients, which can detoxify the poison but not poison the body.

Now Ron's condition is that after Harry stuffed bezoar into his throat, his whole body was violently convulsing and he couldn't breathe. However, his symptoms such as coma and vomiting blood have not improved at all.

When Zhang Xu rushed to the school doctor's office, Harry just happened to put Ron on the hospital bed. He immediately went over to let Ron lie down together with Madam Pomfrey and Harry.

In order to prevent Ron's vomited blood from choking into the trachea and causing suffocation, Madam Pomfrey prepared the potion while instructing Harry to take away the pillow from the hospital bed, then asked Ron to lie down in a supine position, and then placed his back Lift his neck slightly, then turn his head to one side.

At the same time, Zhang Xu took out a copper basin from the warehouse of the school doctor's office and handed it to Harry, asking him to catch the blood that Ron vomited out.

Not long after, Slughorn ran into the school doctor's office panting, and then Zhang Xu discovered that he was holding a wine bottle in his hand.

Just now, Harry briefly described how Ron got poisoned by drinking alcohol and how he used bezoar to rescue him. So Pomfrey, who had just prepared the potion, saw the wine bottle in Slughorn's hand and asked him to First test the poison content in the wine.

Just as Slughorn took out some empty bottles from his locker,

When preparing to use the Revealing Curse to analyze the composition of the poison in the wine, Dumbledore and a group of professors rushed to the school doctor's office after being notified.

According to the latest version of the "Hogwarts Emergency Response Plan", the current commander-in-chief of the school doctor's office is Madam Pomfrey. When she does not say anything, the professors and others can only stand aside and help. preparations, while deputy commander Dumbledore is on standby to deal with emergencies at any time. Hermione and Ginny, who came after hearing the news, could only wait outside the door.

Zhang Xu and Harry helped up the unconscious Ron, and then helped Madam Pomfrey pry open his mouth and drink a large cup full of potion made of various antidotes.

After seeing Ron drink the medicine, everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief.

However, less than ten seconds later, when Zhang Xu and Harry were about to put Ron down and lie down on his back, Ron suddenly convulsed, and then a large mouthful of blood spurted out together with the potion he had just drank.

Seeing that Madam Pomfrey's potion was useless, the professors present became nervous.

"We need to find out the ingredients of the poison first." Madam Pomfrey ordered, and then she assigned tasks to Zhang Xu and Harry.

Snape began to help Slughorn use magic spells to analyze the mead he brought, while Zhang Xu, Harry, and Hermione, Ginny and Neville, who had been waiting anxiously outside the door, used other methods to analyze it. Mead.

Previously, Zhang Xu helped the school medical office purchase a set of domestic rapid detection kits for toxic substances. However, this rapid detection kit did not involve much European magic medicines and was only used as a supplementary method. Now two top professors in potions are analyzing mead using a method popular in Europe. Zhang Xu and several others are using this rapid detection kit for testing.

Zhang Xu took out the special separation funnel he bought at Tonya's shop in St. Petersburg, and with the help of Harry, Hermione and Ginny who looked twitching, he separated the alcohol in the mead from other ingredients. Come on. It's just that the useful component alcohol that was separated in this funnel in the past has now become a useless part. Zhang Xu could tell from the expressions of the three of them that their memories of the Christmas vacation were not very good.

Next, Zhang Xu and the others each took several test kits to test the solution obtained after the mead was separated.

Madam Pomfrey, who had arranged the tasks for everyone, opened the medicine cabinet and began to prepare a hemostatic potion to prevent Ron from vomiting blood and vomiting to death.

As a result, at this moment, an indescribable sound sounded from under Ron, and then an almost murderous stench filled the ward. The next moment, everyone in the ward cast a head soaking spell on themselves.

Madam Pomfrey ignored the filth and smell of Ron's excrement. After stripping Ron naked and examining him for a while, she said, "There is massive bleeding in his intestines."

Then she waved her wand to remove the dirt on the hospital bed. While continuing to dispense medicine, she directed Professor McGonagall to get a blood pressure monitor from the equipment cabinet to measure Ron's blood pressure.

Madam Pomfrey quickly prepared a hemostatic agent for Ron to drink, but Ron still continued to vomit blood, and his blood pressure had dropped to a dangerous level.

Although it is best to send Ron to St. Mungo's at this time, he cannot withstand the torment on the road in this state.

Zhang Xu, who was helping to analyze the poison ingredients in the mead, suppressed the urge to rush into the dormitory of the Snake House, capture Xiao Ma, tie him up with rocks by the lake, and interrogate the ingredients of the poison, because the poison was too high-level and could not be prepared by Xiao Ma. , he is more likely to get the finished product.

At this time, Slughorn and Snape also roughly analyzed the ingredients of the poisons in the wine. In addition to several poisons that can be detoxified with fecal stones, there are also some plant-based poisons that can be detoxified with commonly used antidotes, and a group of poisons. A poison suspected to be snake venom.

Zhang Xu also quickly obtained the results. After comparing the two sides, he found that most of the results were consistent. In addition, he also discovered that gelsemine can cause convulsions, vomiting, damage to the digestive tract and other symptoms, and can cause abdominal pain. , oleandrin that causes symptoms such as diarrhea and heart abnormalities, and a toxin that does not react significantly with snake blood circulation toxin tests.

At this time, a thought suddenly appeared in Zhang Xu's mind. Ron's father was bleeding after being bitten by Voldemort's snake, and he was finally rescued. So if the venom of the snake whose name I forgot was used as poison and mixed with other poisons, Ron's current situation of digestive tract bleeding is very likely to occur.

A special antidote for this kind of snake venom has been developed by St. Mungo's Hospital, and the school doctor's office has also purchased it. However, Madam Pomfrey did not subconsciously think that people would be poisoned by snake venom, so she did not use it on Ron. This antidote.

After another try, Ron, who drank the snake venom antidote, finally stopped vomiting blood and having blood in his stool, which made everyone present heave a sigh of relief.

After learning the ingredients of the poison, Madam Pomfrey began to prescribe the right medicine. After some treatment, Ron, who had walked around the gate of hell, finally succeeded in rescuing him.

Madam Pomfrey came to Harry and said to him: "Fortunately, you used bezoar to relieve the effect of the acute poison at the first time, otherwise we would not have had time to rescue him."
