| nitrite p. |
poisoning of ruminants grazing on nitrate-rich plants; the nitrates break down into nitrites in the body. Plants naturally rich in nitrates include Chenopodium album, Salvia reflexa, and species of Amaranthus. Poisoning can also occur in fields heavily dosed with certain fertilizers (see ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate). Characteristics include gastroenteritis, diarrhea, potentially fatal methemoglobinemia with anemic anoxia, dyspnea, tremors, and cyanosis.
