I want to work for the poison control hotline

[Evil Robot]

Think about it, what other job can you order people to throw up? Either that or I want to get a phone number thats one digit off from poison control.

[Gato]

I'd rather work a 9-1-1 line. Can you imagine the joys of putting someone on hold?

I had to call poison control once for my son. He drank some coleman fuel. He was two years old at the time.

I was told not to induce vomiting, but instead to give him milk to drink.

So either they will be told to vomit...or drink a glass of milk. Cookies are optional.

[Tadao]

What a dumb kid.

In school, we were always taught that you shouldn't try to make someone who swallowed a toxic substance vomit. This is because the poison might burn the throat as it comes back up.

I also remember being told to give them milk. We were told why, but I've forgotten... :\

Thank you, ZQ. Short, but pointless.

[ZeldaQueen]

Oh shut up. >:

[Sam]

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME? :rolleyes

[ZeldaQueen]

No thank you...:x

[darkvare]

wow that's basic chemistry. Fuel has a low ph when it gets mixed with the ph of the stomach it goes higher making it less acid milk has a ph level of 6.7 so it can neutralize the effects of many acids, be wary water can set some chemicals on fire

I didn't go to no fancy "school" like ZQ, but there are multiple reasons not to induce vomiting. Before I got this awesome job as a leech/message board regular, I used to do medical shit. It's all about the activated charcoal, son. It'll sop that poison up like gravy on a biscuit.

[Sam]

I'm all about that activated charcoal, son.

[pac-man]

Sa da tay!

In all fairness it wasn't his fault. The fuel was poured into an empty soda can. The can was used as a better funnel than the gas can to fill the stove.

He thought it was a soda.

And no, I was not the one to pour it into the soda can....That would be my husband. If you want to call him dumb...feel free.

Should have went with Diet Poison Zero. Glad he's okay though.

[b_squared]

:) your right, he does not drink other peoples sodas anymore.
