"Vanya believed that the lotion is better"
In Irkutsk, the number of people who died from poisoning is growing
By the evening of December 20, Irkutsk was already announced about 58 deaths from poisoning with alcohol -containing liquids. The total number of poisoned reached 97 people - about 40 people were hospitalized.
An emergency regime has been introduced in the region, and non -food alcohol -containing products are prohibited.
A wave of poisoning on Saturday began, December 17. The number of hospitalized reached Monday night. Initially poisoned, they entered medical institutions from the Leninsky district, considered the most dysfunctional in the city. On Monday and Tuesday, the hospitalization of the poisoners continued in the Oktyabrsky and Sverdlovsk districts.
Drinking people turned too late
“Mostly residents of the Leninsky district entered the hospitals,” confirms the chief toxicologist of the Angarya Alexei Tretyakov . - It turned out that most of the poisoned people in this area bought and used an alcohol -containing agent. It is preliminary known that in all mortal cases, the use of the Hawthorn alcohol -containing lotion appears, which is not officially food and should be used exclusively for cosmetic purposes. Some of the poisoning "hawthorn" managed to go home to other areas of Irkutsk, and only there they complained of a deterioration in well -being. It is sad that in most cases those who drunk in hospitals turned too late. As a result, many could not be saved, others are in extremely serious condition.
The police add that some of those who died from poisoning with a lotion were found in their own apartments by relatives or neighbors. After the first calls to the house, the police and the prosecutor's office organized raids to the houses of potential victims. Close attention was paid to the Leninsky district.
From apartments to wells
- On the first day they found four bodies. Since then, the numbers are growing, the number of victims will increase. Work on the survey of residence of potential consumers of Surrogat - from apartments to the wells - is in full swing, ”says Stanislav Zubovsky, prosecutor of the Leninsky district of Irkutsk.
The prosecutor's office reported that among the victims there are both men and women aged 35-50 years.
“Poisoning is caused by methyl alcohol or methanol,” says the Ministry of Health of the Heldow. There were suspects in the case of the sale of surrogate: two distributors of the alcohol -containing lotion were detained, which are charged with the death of half of all dead - 25 people. As investigators clarify, in these cases there is undeniable evidence that the dead used exactly the products that the suspects traded.
The ban on consumption did not stop
At the same time, on the labels of the concentrate for the adoption of the Boyaryshnik baths, which the poisoners bought in pharmacies of the Leninsky district, there was a ban on the use of fluids inside, but this did not stop people, they say in the administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, whose employees talked with the victims who came to their senses after poisoning.
The police conduct searches in city markets, looking for places of sale of alcohol, suitable for the category of "alcohol surrogate". For Tuesday, more than 2000 bottles of the Boyaryshnik lotions were seized. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the party of the lotion, instead of ethyl alcohol, there was a concentrated methyl alcohol.
One bottle of "hawthorn" - what is there? 100 ml!
“Vanya believed that the lotion from the pharmacy in the sense of security is even better than vodka from a grocery stall,” says the mother of one of the poisoned Lyubov Mamonova . -He is not some kind of drunken drill. I could drink after a hard working day. One bottle of "hawthorn" - what is there? 100 ml! And not every day. So everyone drinks around, this is not considered shameful. There and the nurse alone also ended up in the hospital, and the teacher from the kindergarten - also used this lotion. The son said that the "hawthorn" comes out cheaper and less than the smallest scale of vodka. In general, many hard workers drink it - and nothing. And this time something was mixed there. Apparently, they wanted to save.
The region’s Ministry of Health says that among the victims of the use of a lotion with methanol more than a third is women. The police admit that mostly “dysfunctional citizens” became victims of poisoning, most of whom did not have an accurate place of residence.
The cheapest way to "throw"
- Professors, do they drink "hawthorn"? It is clear that these are alcoholics with experience. Which, if they were once intellectuals, have long sank. Surrogates are bought by people who do not have money at all, this is the cheapest way to "throw themselves". Therefore, to look for someone among the victims for an interview is a gystal matter. A pairs of words cannot be knitted, ”says the district district romance of Pinaev . According to the policeman, recently sales of this surrogate have become more ambitious in the city than a year ago. In the Leninsky district, several round -the -clock machines for the sale of the Boyarshnik lotion were opened.
It was with their appearance that the city hall of Irkutsk appealed to the authorities of the region in July 2016 with a request to ban the sale of "hawthorn" in the Angara region. Irkutsk mayor Dmitry Berdnikov explained the proposal by the fact that requests from citizens began to enter the city administration. The Irkutsk people demanded that the mayor prohibit the turnover of alcohol -containing liquids, but the city hall did not have legal grounds for introducing such restrictions.
Rospotrebnadzor answered formally to the mayor’s appeal: “The Boyaryshnik Bath concentrate is not a food product, and the department has no reason to check.” As for the regional government, officials said that they also do not have the necessary powers, since the lotion is “alcohol -containing non -food products”, adding that the authorities were sent to the Ministry of Industry of Russia this April to ban “hawthorn” trade, which did not receive an answer to.
Their chances are almost zero
In the meantime, doctors state the surge of panic among those who took alcohol the day before. On December 20, doctors recorded a large growth in ambulances with complaints of deterioration after drinking ordinary vodka:
- All calling are hospitalized. They do not leave anyone without help. But we must admit that those who drank precisely the lotion have a little chance of surviving. This is 13 Irkutsk Surrogate poisoned, they are now in four hospitals of Irkutsk. Of the 28 hospitalized, they are in the most severe form. Their chances are almost zero. This is later a appeal to the doctors, and a large dose of the accepted surrogate. Only a miracle can leave them alive, ”said Oleg Yaroshenko , Minister of Health of the Angara region.
On December 20, the Angara region was declared the day of mourning for those who died due to poisoning by surrogate alcohol.
