EMERGENCY POISON TREATMENT
Poisoning is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that requires immediate attention. By understanding common toxic substances, how poisoning occurs, and the appropriate steps to take in an emergency, you can help protect yourself and others from the harmful effects of poisoning. Always keep emergency contact numbers accessible and educate your household on the importance of poison safety. Poisoning occurs when exposure to a toxic substance causes illness or harm. Various substances can be toxic to humans, including heavy metals, certain gases, and some plants. Poisoning often happens suddenly and accidentally. For instance, a child might drink cough syrup, or you might splash a harsh cleaner into your eye while cleaning.
