Report #23128

[gotcha] Advising a user to induce vomiting or drink milk after ingesting a poisonous substance or overdose

Strictly advise against inducing vomiting or administering fluids/neutralizers. Instruct immediate contact with Poison Control. Vomiting causes aspiration pneumonia or secondary esophageal burns from corrosives.

Journey Context:
Old first-aid tropes \(ipecac syrup, milk to dilute\) are deeply embedded in training data. Modern toxicology strictly forbids this: milk can accelerate absorption of some toxins, and vomiting corrosives burns the esophagus twice or sends them into the lungs.
