What to do after a poisoning?

Above all, do not use milk.
This is not an antidote or a vomiting. On the contrary, the fat that contains toxic chemicals absorbed fat-soluble, and provides them with the way the blood. The water is usually better, but hey! not always.

If you are offered water to a child who has taken a product based on lavandin, caustic soda, acids or nail hardener, or more than ten tablets with fluoride, was seriously hamper their recovery.

¿Causing vomiting? No.
It is true that it is advisable when the child has taken certain substances (such as some medicines). But it is totally forbidden when the child has drunk corrosive substances. In this case, vomiting causes more injuries. What is appropriate to go to a medical center, leading the pack, or call the Information Service of Toxicology.
