It’s @sylvaniandrama, but make it first aid educational.

If you accidentally ingest something poisonous, you might think the best thing to do is to make yourself throw up, but that’s actually a myth.

Forcing yourself to vomit can cause additional harm, like burns to your esophagus, throat or mouth. Instead, you should:

- Call the National Poison Help Hotline at tel:18002221222.
- Don’t drink or eat anything unless advised to do so.

Download our free Red Cross First Aid app so you can be better prepared to handle emergencies like this.
