Emergency First Aid & Poison Helpline
If victim is unconscious, not breathing, or having seizures, call 911 / 112 immediately. For chemical exposure guidance, contact Poison Help.
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING
Inducing vomiting with corrosive caustics (drain cleaners, bleach, acids) re-exposes the esophagus and throat to severe chemical burns.
If the victim is unconscious, having seizures, or unable to swallow, place them on their side (recovery position) and dial 911 / 112 immediately.
Wipe away excess powder or liquid from the lips. If conscious and able to swallow comfortably, have them take small sips of water.
Bring the exact chemical bottle to the phone so you can read active ingredients, EPA registration numbers, and volume swallowed.
Dial 1-800-222-1222. Registered toxicologists and nurses will provide custom case management for the exact chemical.
