Brewing [edit]. In brewing, a carboy or demijohn is a glass or plastic vessel used in fermenting beverages such as wine, mead, cider, perry, and beer. Usually it is fitted with a rubber stopper and a fermentation lock to prevent bacteria and oxygen from entering during the fermentation process. 4.5 L (1.2 US gal) carboy is usually called a jug. A 57 L (15 US gal) carboy is usually called a demijohn (in the Philippines, dama juana. ). Demijohn is an old word that formerly referred to any glass vessel with a large body and small neck, enclosed in wickerwork.
Answer Wiki. It depends on the type of rat poison involved. The three most common types affect the blood, the brain, and the kidneys respectively. The one that affects the blood causes an animal to bleed out after ingestion, and it takes 3-5 days before it starts to take effect in an individual who ingests it. The one that affects the brain causes neurological signs like seizures and weakness. It takes from 12 hours up to 7 days before signs are seen.
Symptoms of Rat Poison Ingestion. Most rat poison uses a common blood thinner used by heart attack and stroke patients: warfarin (CoumadinÂ®). Another type of rat poison uses thallium sulfate as the active ingredient. Some of the symptoms are similar, and because symptoms may take hours or days to appear, there may not be any way to see which type of poison was ingested unless it is discovered at the time of ingestion.
