Poisons are substances that can be harmful if too much is absorbed by the body. Swallowed poisons include chemicals, fungi, plants and berries. Poisoning can be accidental or deliberate.

Use the primary survey to quickly assess the situation and check the casualty for injuries or conditions that could be immediately life threatening. Find out what to do.

A poison is anything that causes halrm to the body when swallowed.  Some poisons can be obvious and clearly marked (Hazardous chemicals, for example) but others can be harder to spot including the leaves or berries of some plants or fungi.  Just because something is 'natural' does not always mean it is non-toxic.  Around the home, many common household products (like bleach) can poison or burn if swallowed. Poisonous plants include certain types of mushroom, and foxgloves. Prescribed and over-the-counter drugs can also be harmful if someone takes too many.
