Tryon Daily Bulletin. Thurs.. Nov. G, 1980 Health Watch By N. C. Medical Society Most people think their houses are pretty safe and, by large, they're right. But just take a minute to look under the kitchen sink, around the laundry room, and in the medicine cabinet. Stashed in these easy-to-get-at places is a wide variety of detergents, cleaners, medicines (old and new), and a host of other potentially poisonous substances. If you have children, what you arc looking at is an accident waiting to happen. In the event that your child swallowed a poisonous substance would you know what to do? Who to call? Poisoning can be suspected when the child appear confused, unconscious, or suddenly ill. In some cases an odor characteristic to the poison may be on the breath, or the hands or mouth may show burns or stains from the chemical involved. If the child's behavior indicates poisoning the North Carolina Medical Society recommends you: — Call your physician immediately, or have someone else call him. Tell him what you suspect from the child’s appearance and from the containers in evidence. If you have syrup of ipecac ask the doctor if you should use it. — Induce vomiting if the child is conscious and if the substance swallowed is noncorrosive. This can be done either by a half an ounce of syrup of ipecac or by placing a finger in the back of the throat. — DO NOT induce vomiting if the child is unconscious, in convulscions, or has swallowed a corrosive substance such as acid.amonia, lye, drain cleaners, or petroleum products like gasoline and kerosene. In these cases the poison is diluted by having the child drink large does of milk or warm water. — If you’re dealing with an inhaled poison, carry the child to fresh air immediately. Use artifical respiration if breathing has stopped or is irregular. Keep the child warm until emergency help arrives. — If skin contamination from a poison is present, flush the skin with water, either from the shower, a hose or a faucet. Speed in washing is most important in reducing the extent of the injury. This week we’ve dealth with accidental poisoning. Next week we'll take a look at preventing it in the first place.
