PLEASE READ, THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE
Sorry for interrupting your reading but I must bring this to everyone’s attention.
Forcing a glass of salt water does initially force them to throw up (as it would anyone) HOWEVER salt is very bad for you in large doses so this method is not recommended unless there is a high risk they are going to die due to overdosing.
Before hand, you should person Heimlich type movements in order to induce vomiting. The Heimlich can also, of course, be very risky and does provoke risks of broken ribs and internal bleeding.
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS CALL YOUR EMERGANCY SERVICES AS SOON AS THE INCIDENT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED. OVER DOSING IS NOT THE ONLY METHOD OF SUICIDE, JUST ONE OF THE SLOWEST.
Here are some visible symptoms of overdose:
*Unresponsive to outside stimulus
*Loss of consciousness
*May be awake, but unable to talk
*Breathing is very slow and shallow, erratic, or has stopped
*Pulse (heartbeat) is slow, erratic, or not there at all
*Body is very limp
*Face is very pale or clammy
*Fingernails and lips turn blue or purple
*Choking sounds, or a gurgling noise
*Vomiting
In some cases, dilate pupils and a racing heart can indicate.
Fact: Naloxone can reverse the effects of a heroin overdose.
REMEMBER TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE THERE ARE CLEAR AIRWAYS.
INDUCED VOMITTING IS ONLY ONE METHOD OF RECOVERY.
The best way to reverse effects is to let the professionals do their jobs, this does often result in a stomach pump.
