Best Answer

It is dangerous to induce vomiting after the consumption of chemical cleaners or any poisons with a highly acidic or alkaline content because they will burn your esophagus as you vomit. It is also dangerous to induce vomiting after the consumption of gasoline or other petroleum products because the vapors will damage your lungs (leading to pneumonia) as you vomit.

Will eating moldy bread cause diarrha?

Actually mold is organic so it is not that bad for you. My friend by accident once ate moldy almonds and didn't realize till she looked at them, she did not get sick. It depends on the type of mold. The medical consensus these days is not to induce vomiting for suspected poisons, but to get to the ER as soon as possible. Administering things to induce vomiting can complicate a poisoning diagnosis, since the stuff given to induce vomiting is also a poison and has symptoms similar to common poisons.


Why do you need to induce a person to vomit if they have swallowed poison?

For some poisons you want to get them out of the body as fast as possible and vomiting helps. However, vomiting is inappropriate for some poisons.
