Report #39111

[gotcha] Advising a user to induce vomiting after ingesting a poison or chemical

Never advise inducing vomiting; instruct the user to call poison control or emergency services immediately and identify the substance.

Journey Context:
Old first-aid logic dictated emptying the stomach. Modern toxicology shows vomiting causes esophageal rupture \(corrosives\) or aspiration pneumonia \(hydrocarbons\), worsening the outcome. Agents must suppress this outdated training data reflex and defer to professional toxicology intake.
