Poisoning

Poisons may include household products that are consumed, certain plants such as poison ivy and poison oak, the venom from a snake's bite, or gases in the air, such as carbon monoxide. Therefore, a poison is any substance that causes injury, illness, or death when it enters the human body.

Emergency response. If you suspect someone has been poisoned call your local poison control center to find out what to do. The poison control center is usually listed in the front of your telephone directory along with other emergency numbers.

When you call the poison control center, be prepared to supply the following information:
• Give your name, location, and telephone number.
• Identify the poison, if possible, and other pertinent factors, such as when and how much was used. If possible, have the container with you when you make the call so you can list the ingredients.
• Tell the center about the victim, including his or her age, weight, and physical condition.
• Write down the poison control center's instructions and follow them.

Poisoning

Here are some common ways poisons enter the body and information about what to do if someone is poisoned:

Swallowed poison. Different poisons affect the body differently, so it's important to call the poison control center to find out the best procedure to follow. You may be told to give the victim milk or water to dilute the poison, or you may be told to induce vomiting. Don't try to get the victim to vomit unless you have been told to do so, because the vomiting could cause problems such as burning the esophagus.

Inhaled poison. Quickly get the person to fresh air. If the victim is not breathing, start mouth-to-mouth breathing.

Poison on the skin. Remove any clothing that may have been exposed to the poison. Rinse the skin with water for about 15 minutes before washing with mild soap and water and then rinse again. If you live in an area with poison ivy or poison oak, you can buy a special soap for washing off the oil from these plants if you have been exposed. Over-the-counter medications, such as calamine lotion, may be applied to reducing itching. Poison in the eye. Flush the eye with lukewarm warm for about 15 minutes. Have the victim blink the eye as much as possible while doing this. Do not rub the eye. Obtain medical assistance as soon as possible.

Snakebite. Call 911 and follow the instructions. Get the person to the hospital as quickly as possible. Keep the victim as still as possible to prevent the venom from spreading through the body. Keep the bitten area at or below the level of the heart. Do not apply heat or ice to the bitten area.

Insect bite and sting. People who are allergic to the venom of bees, hornets, wasps, and other insects need immediate medical attention; being bitten can be a life-threatening condition for them. For these individuals, call 911 immediately. For most people, however, insect bites are simply uncomfortable. If you are bitten, try to remove the stinger by scraping if off with a credit card or fingernail. Then wash the area with soap and water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Use an over-the-counter medication, such as calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream, to reduce itching.
