Detergent is very common in people's daily life. If used improperly, it might be harmful to health. At noon recently, the 120 dispatch command center received a call for help. An old man accidentally used the diluted detergent as a seasoning for food and ate it. The dispatcher collected the address and dispatched an ambulance immediately while appeasing the anxiety of the family members. The dispatcher instructed the family members to make the patient who accidentally ingest the detergent drink a lot of water so that the detergent can be quickly excreted. The ambulance arrived at the scene a few minutes later. After a preliminary physical examination by the doctor, the patient was not in life-threatening danger. After that, the patient was sent to the nearest hospital for further treatment.

Here are some tips from 120. Families should try to use the original packaging for detergent. If you need to transfer it to a separate bottle, it is necessary to stick a label. Do not use food packaging for detergent. In particular, beverage bottles should not be used. Detergent should be kept out of reach of children, or locked in a cabinet when not in use. In the event of accidental ingestion of detergent, you should rinse your mouth immediately, and drink plenty of water to induce vomiting. You can eat milk and egg whites to detoxify and it is necessary to seek medical attention in time.
