Is detergent h2s method peaceful?

[heyismeman]

What's the general consensus on weather or not it is a painful or painless way to go? I have all the materials but im just abit worried about the pain?

I'm pretty sure I've read there is a lot of room for failure with this one. It's mostly used in Asia where detergent has the chemicals in the concentrations needed, but it's not impossible to find them in the west apparently.

Where did you read about it. I pretty sure chemistry wise I have more then enough. I'm not even using detergent or pesticides or pet dips I went right for the apple and bought sodium sulfide which is the best chemical for this

With a high concentration of ppm (in a sealed environment, you can reach thousands) you can directly paralyze the respiratory center in the brainstem, thus blocking signals to the muscles that control breathing. At the same time, you inhibit mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase, which blocks the use of oxygen by cells. Essentially, you cause chemical hypoxia that immediately affects neurons. These two mechanisms combined are triggered after a few breaths and render the brain incapable of receiving oxygen and activating respiratory commands, leading to neurological collapse. Olfactory paralysis occurs, in some people, as early as 150-200 ppm. If you've thoroughly saturated the environment, you can't perceive anything, not even smell.

I've read it can be very painful if the concentrations aren't high enough. I think it can also pose a risk to others.

Just researched it on the webs after reading about it here I think. Maybe a medical journal, or some forensic outlook. Don't really remember. Been a while.

It seems painful and not reliable. I would not recommend this method

 

[Intoxicated]

Acute exposures of 500 to 2,000 ppm (695 to 2,781 mg/m³) for seconds or minutes primarily targets the nervous system, although other tissues with high oxygen demand, particularly the heart, are also affected. Symptoms include fatigue, dizziness, intense anxiety, loss of olfactory function, collapse, respiratory and cardiac failure, and death.
Usually acute intoxication occurs from a single, massive exposure of 2,000 ppm (2,781 mg/m³) or more, and unconsciousness occurs within a few seconds, without significant warning or pain. Unconsciousness, termed "knock-down" by workers, is almost immediately followed by respiratory paralysis, and after that by a short period of tonic convulsions (Yant, 1930). The heart continues to beat for several minutes. Death occurs unless the victim is removed from the contaminated area and artificial ventilation is immediately initiated.

As for reliability:

since January 2008, a burgeoning of suicide attempts using homemade hydrogen sulfide gas has become evident. By April 2008, the fad escalated into a chain reaction nationwide. Mortality of the poisoning was very high. There were 220 cases of attempted gas suicides during the period of March 27 to June 15, killing 208.

208/220 looks like a very good success rate for rather imperfect chemicals used for producing the gas.

I'd agree with the PPEH estimation of the reliability (10/10), but disagree with their estimation of "peacefulness". For me H2S poisoning looks much more comfortable way to go than poisoning by SN, for example.
