Contact a poison control center immediately!
Okay, so at this very moment, I am kind of sick. I think I have the flu or a really really bad cold. Anyway, I have some of the things that seem to be going around. It is really annoying. Actually this is my second bout. I was sick with something just over a week ago and it lasted a few days. I got over that and then this new ailment slaps me in the face. Anyway, that is not the point of this blog. I am taking a few things for my sickness. I got some cold-eaze cough drops, some allergy relief capsules [just in case seasonal allergies are just making the cold worse], I use a nazal spray so that I can breathe through my nose at night, and I am taking some mucinex. I also tried to drink some theraflu, which is about the most nasty tasting stuff on this earth [so the attempt failed]. Needless to say, I am trying to get to sleep and my stomach is rather upset. So now I am trying to figure out if it is my illness or my remedies which is causing the problem and do you know what really doesn't help. The fact that every single medication or anything you could possibly digest seems to say that if you do happen to swallow some then you should immediately contact a poison control center. Everything says this... my nasal spray says this. And if you spray it in your nose, trust me, you have digested some. How is anyone supposed to know if they are really in need of medical attention if everything says it. Dish soap says it. Mouthwash says it. Holy crap, I am surprised this warning isn't on food yet. Maybe we should just stop digesting things all together if it is really so dangerous. Well the point of this blog is this. If you put the warning on everything then it means absolutely squat and to be completely honest, I would like to know if I were ever really poisoned.

lol, I completely agree. I love watching the various pill commercials because even if they are for minor problem like restless leg syndrome, it usually have potentially dangerous side effects like nausea, vomiting, fever, sleepiness, rapid or uneven heartbeat, diarrhea, confusion, fainting, seizures, or coma. I hate taking pills because I can't swallow them. I usually have to crush the pills and mix it in some water before I can take it, kinda childish of me... So I usually like natural things that can help curve sickness like apples and stuff like that. You can even get intoxicated from drinking too much water. |
