Let's talk about food poisoning

Image
FOOD POISONING (intro) When we hear the term food poisoning, there are variety of impressions or interpretations that people have. Some people think of food poisoning as when someone's meal is deliberately poisoned with toxic substances to cause harm. This isn't a holistic definition.  We would be talking about food poisoning from a different angle: food poisoning, not as a deliberate action. Food poisoning is the illness that occurs as a result of ingestion of contaminated foods, water or poisonous substances. The sources of contamination includes bacteria, viruses and other toxins In the next couple of days, we would be talking about  i) Sources/causes of food poisoning  ii) Signs & symptoms of food poisoning  iii) How to prevent food poisoning  iv) First aid care for food poisoning  v) When to nake a hospital visit for food poisoning  You need first aid kits and skills?🤔 Permit us to be your first aid plug😉 #FoodPoisoning #FoodPois...

When to make a hospital visit during alcohol poisoning

Image
WHEN PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL HELP IS NEEDED DURING ALCOHOL POISONING  First aid is the bridge between when a medical emergency happens and the time professional medical hep is accessed.  At times, first aid is sufficient to manage a medical emergency, at other times, even after administration of first aid, a hospital visit is still needed  When someone suffers alcohol poisoning there are times a hospital visit is absolutely necessary👇 1. When the victim is unresponsive but breathing  2.When the victim is unresponsive and not breathing  Professional must be accessed in the anove scenarios, either a call to EMS (Emergency Medical Service) or you take the victim to a hospital  Do you have first kit aid and first skills? No? Give us a buzz  If yes, then you are absolutely FABulouS🤛👏👍 #Alcohol #AlcoholPoisoning #AlcoholIntoxication #TheFABS  #BeFABulouS  Credit:animated character DrJatto
