If you seriously think you ingested something poisonous then i would advise you to call poison control and tell them what you think you may have ingested and they will best know what to do.

If you do not wish to involve authorities, and feel confident that throwing up will make it better than try going to your local drug store and get some ipecac (sp) iot induces vomiting at a low dose, make sure to read the directions and only take the recomended dose because if you take to much it could prove to be a bad situation.

It might help us if you told us what you think you may have taken. There are alot of very smart people here that may be able to give you betetr advice with some more info.

You should really seek medical advice for this. What have you ingested?

[Urban]

some form of mushroom!

I can't imagine puking now over 3 hours later is going to do much good. You should really seek medical help some mushrooms can go unnoticed for a couple weeks before causing liver failure.

Go to the hospital, if possible bring a sample of the type of mushroom you ate. This will be vital in deciding the best course of action. Try not to panic. If you have only eaten the mushroom today it will be treatable as the most common toxins found in mushrooms (amatoxins) take several days to kill.

Well, Urban, it's been long enough now. Are you dead yet?

Truly, if you want to vomit, don't ask us at the Forum. Ask a Doctor.

A quick call to the Emergency Room of any Hospital will get you all the info you need to know to vomit. ( I know a few ways, myself.)

You said: "she has tried using her fingers, but it's not working!! does anyone know what will?!" Just use a feather. Ancient Romans used to stuff themselves at a feast. Then off to the bathroom to "feather" themselves. Then back to the feast ... then back to the Bathroom.

If you eat suspicious Mushrooms on a regular basis, just buy some Ipecac. A little swig will have you happily barfing away in a couple minutes.

NEVER eat a mushroom that you are not 100% sure of the identity.. Many mushrooms will cause liver failure, yet by the time you feel symptoms, you will bee near death.. Whenever eating a mushroom of the psilocybe variety, people can begin to trip, and think they are poisoned, however, it is just the way the trip feels.. Usually, if you are getting high, then you are probably safe, and should refrain from doing anything drastic... Without some extensive knowledge of shrooms, you shouldn't ever pick and ingest wild mushrooms, as even a trained mycologist can be fooled.. Not only can macroscopic features bee an indicator, but you must look at the spores and microscopic features to bee sure, and even this is not 100% foolproof.. Milk thistle is good to keep on hand, as it can help protect your liver, should you ingest a bad mushroom, however you should always seek medical attention immediately if you feel you have eaten a poisonous variety.. Glad to hear you are okay, but in the future, it is better to bee safe than sorry...

This goes back to my Ipecac thread, http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16363 like I mention in that thread, it is a very handy thing to keep around the house and by the example in the video as you can see it works and it works well, I can also tell you first hand that it works....

Ipecac syrup is activated charcoal, it is used in hospitals for accidental poisoning or ingestion of something that needs to come up....you can also buy it over the counter in most pharms and sold in alot of first aid kits and usually in that section of the store.....Sometimes you have to ask for it if you can't find it on the shelf because they have it behind the counter.....

Milk + mustard can induce vomiting. Poison control sometimes advices people to do that (e.g. when children eat non toxic nail polish).

[hazeinmybong2]

Thinking of drinking milk and mustard makes me gag. haha That just sounds noxious.

Haze realizes: "milk and mustard makes me gag."

Well, good: Milk and Mustard (when you really wanta barf). Tell a friend.
