Barium: A Cause of the Loco-Weed Disease
Crawford, Albert C. (Albert Cornelius)
Astragalus earlei; Barium
Poisonings with barium carbonate have also been reported in pigs.[246]
Domestic animals pastured in the neighborhood of barite deposits soon
succumb,[247] and accidental cases of poisoning are reported in cows.
Poisoning in dogs has also been reported after the subcutaneous use of
this agent.[248] Linossier says that if the barium salts are used for
any time the salts are deposited in various organs, largely in the
kidneys, brain, and medulla, but especially in the bones.[249]
