A police officer in Missouri was exposed to arsenic and cyanide while emptying the Excelsior Springs Police Department’s prescription drug take-back box last week.
“Unfortunately, someone used the box to dispose of non-approved substances of a very toxic nature, namely mercury cyanide and arsenic, in vintage glass bottles. These bottles had broken and on Friday , while one of our officers was doing the routine emptying of the drug take-back box, they were exposed to these deadly substances,” police officials wrote in the post.
“I quickly started smelling a strong metallic smell and began sweating profusely,” Mr. Warner told WDAF-TV, the Fox affiliate in Kansas City, a half hour from Excelsior Springs. Mr. Warner had persistent headaches for two days due to the exposure but did not need to go to the hospital and is now doing fine, Excelsior Springs Police Chief Greg Dull told KCTV-TV, the Kansas City CBS station.
