information. Items in {

right
things. If not, do not give them the information.
1) Call for help, 911 (preferred) or call poison control (or both, 9l1 is first) 2) Get Jake to lie on his
side (so if he vomits, he
won’t
choke) 3) Keep him still and calm 4) Find
the mushroom he took a bite of (if it is close by, never
leave the victim alone) 5) Follow
the instructions given by
911 operator or Poison
Control (if 911 is called, the
instructions are to keep the
victim calm and find the
mushroom. If Poison control is called,
the instructions are to keep the victim calm, find the
mushroom and call 911.) 6) Treat for shock (lie down and
keep warm) |
