If he actually died of aniline poisoning then I would have to say that he was very negligent (in fact he had no business carrying a toxic chemical in his pocket) and was mismanaged at the hospital.

However, I am more inclined to suspect that the probable cause of death was something else for the reasons already mentioned.

This unfortunate incidence should be a reminder to all laboratory personnel and students who knowingly flout laid down laboratory safety regulations.

I recall a tragic incidence as a student when a technician mistook another poisonous chemical (mercuric nitrate) for water and mistakenly drank it - he died a few days later.

His death could have been avoided had he and his colleagues obeyed the standard safety guidelines i.e. never store food and drinks in the same fridges meant for chemicals/reagents; while all chemical/regents must be clearly labelled and dated at all times.

This happened because reagent was not labelled, it was a clear liquid like water, the technicians were also storing their drinking water in the same fridge; it was a hot afternoon and the late technician was thirsty and drank almost all the content before he realised his mistake.

Very pathetic, ,mercury for that matter.
Left to me, we still have a long way to go as regards safety in Nigerian institutions.

It's so unfortunate he died.The treatment / antidote for this poisoning is Methlthioninium chloride commonly called Methylene blue which is readily available .It is administered intravenously.
The poison (Aminobenzene) causes inadequate oxygen in the body by binding to haemoglobin ,forming methaemoglobinaemia which affects oxygen binding and ultimately shortness of breath.
It's however important to exclude other possible causes of death by conducting Forensic autopsy and Toxicology.
May his soul rest in peace.

Yes indeed, our problem is indiscipline; we are no respecters of laws, guidelines , rules & regulations; often opting out to do what we like, even at our own expense - its sad, just too sad.
