First Aid for Poisoning
How is the injury recognized?
If a person is unaware that he or she has been exposed to poison or is too ill
to say what has happened, poisoning can be difficult to diagnose and treat. Healthcare providers
can do blood and urine tests to determine the type of poison. If the poison is
identified, seek emergency medical assistance and take the poison container.
Healthcare providers can provide appropriate treatment immediately if they know what the poison is.
