Nitro-glycerin
Nitroglycerin is a chemical compound originally developed for demolitions and later used in medicine. In medical settings, it helps treat chest pain (angina) by relaxing and widening blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart. However, nitroglycerin is highly volatile and sensitive to movement, heat, or shock, which can cause it to explode. Its powerful properties also made it a key ingredient in explosives like dynamite. When used medically, it’s administered carefully in controlled doses to harness its beneficial effects while minimizing risks associated with its explosive nature.
