After being poisoned for 1 hour, the mice begin to die, and the death mainly appears within 4 hours. Dying mice have a symptom of clonic convulsion. Poisoned mice return to normal in 3 days. In mid-dose and low-dose groups, toxicity reaction of the mice caused by poisoning is the same as that in the high-dose group, but the only difference lies in a delay of poisoning time. After the experiment, all of the mice gain weight to varying degrees. (See Table 1)


After processing gross anatomy on mice dead in the experiment and mice still alive when the experiment is over, no obvious pathological changes demonstrate by observing with naked eye.
