CHILDREN ARE ALSO POISONED

In our country, bleach, caustic substances and detergents are in the first place as the cause of poisoning with household chemicals. The vast majority of these poisonings occur as a result of improper use of products or by accident in young children.

The Responsible Director of Medline is Dr. made warnings about what to do and how to apply a treatment method at the time of poisoning that may occur as a result of chemicals used at home:

.
DO NOT USE THESE PRODUCTS BY MIXING

Bleach or similar chemical poisoning usually occurs when mixed with other chemicals. For example, one of the frequent mistakes is that when cleaning a confined space such as a bathroom or sink, salt spirit is poured onto it without first pouring bleach and then water. A strong inhalation of this chemical mixture by a person can cause poisoning. Therefore, bleach should never be mixed with other chemicals.

.
WHAT TO DO AFTER USING BLEACH?

Especially chemicals that react with bleach, such as salt spirit, can cause serious harm. If you want to use more than one chemical cleaner, leave time between both and Decontaminate the other with plenty of water before using it.

.
WHAT SYMPTOMS APPEAR AT THE TIME OF POISONING AND WHAT SITUATIONS REQUIRE URGENT INTERVENTION?

Symptoms of poisoning vary depending on the way the substance is taken, the chemical structure of the substance, the time of exposure. Bleach or similar chemical poisoning manifests itself immediately. Symptoms such as burns to the eyes, itching and redness of the skin, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, a feeling of heaviness in the chest, respiratory distress, dizziness occur.

In such a situation, the first thing to do is to remove the person from the environment and take him to an environment where he can get fresh air. Vomiting according to the structure of the chemical substance can sometimes cause harm, so the casualty should not try to induce vomiting.
