There is medical assistance that may or should not be provided until someone close to you has been poisoned for various reasons.
What does poisoning involve?
1. Toxic or ingested toxins
2. Toxic airborne toxins
3. Toxins that come into contact with the skin and
4. Snake venom.
1. Poisoning (eg, household cleaning fluids, insecticides and pesticides, workplace chemicals, medicines, etc.)
• Keeping the person on his or her left side until medical help arrives Prevents vomiting and tremors in the event of a concussion.
• Do not return unless instructed to do so by a health professional! This is because some strong toxins can cause serious damage when they pass through the throat and upper gastrointestinal tract, causing them to vomit again.
• If the infected person vomits or there is poison left in the mouth, the person's mouth should be wiped with a cloth.
• Read the container and follow the instructions for emergency poisoning ÷ Keep the container close until a health professional sees it.
• George: Don't give anything to the unconscious person!
• Do not attempt to contaminate the venom with lemon juice or vinegar, or any other substance unless instructed to do so by a health professional!
• Do not use over-the-counter products (such as milk) that are generally considered 'curative' for all toxins!
• If a person is suspected of being infected, do not wait until the symptoms appear and go to the hospital immediately!
2. Toxic airborne toxins
(Example: Extruded carbon monoxide gas is produced by the following events: charcoal, gas engines, fire extinguishers, air conditioners, etc. in a closed house)
• Take the person to fresh air as soon as possible without endangering yourself
• Hold a damp cloth over your nose and mouth when entering exposed air and open doors and windows
• Seek medical attention even if the person seems perfectly healthy! This is because of the toxins in the respiratory tract, especially in the event of a sudden onset of symptoms, shortness of breath, and death.
• Do not light any matches as some gases may catch fire
3. Toxins that enter the body through skin contact
(Example: Fertilizers, Pesticides, Herbs)
• Remove any contaminated clothing using gloves / gloves
• Wash contaminated skin with medium to warm water for 15 to 20 minutes
4. Snake venom
• Don't try to swallow snake venom!
It is usually taken orally as a solution to the snake venom.
However, according to various studies, this practice is useless because the toxins spread rapidly.
It can also cause infections and further damage to the blood vessels and nerves.
• The following should be done to prevent the toxin from spreading rapidly through the bloodstream.
- Keep the snake bite body below the heart level - Avoid
running or exercising too much; If possible, lie down side by side
- tying the upper part of the body to the wound is harmful in itself, but if it takes more than three hours for medical attention, it may help to reduce the spread of the toxin.
• Any jewelry, watches and tights should be avoided ÷ because if swelling occurs they can cut the skin or stop blood flow.
• Do not take tea, coffee, alcohol and painkillers!
• Help health professionals determine if a snake is poisonous or not. The main features of the venomous snake are the triangular head and the oval pupil.
• Although all of these are important steps, go to the hospital immediately as the main treatment for snake venom is antiseptic.
