poisoning emergencies

Poisoning emergencies occur when a person ingests, inhales, or comes into contact with harmful substances. These can include household chemicals, medications, plants, or carbon monoxide. Symptoms may vary widely, from nausea and vomiting to confusion or difficulty breathing. In such emergencies, it's crucial to act quickly: call emergency services or a poison control center, provide details about the substance involved, and follow instructions until help arrives. Prevention is key—store poisons safely and keep emergency numbers accessible. Always be alert and educated about potential hazards in your environment.
