[gotcha] Instructing a user to drink water or milk to dilute a swallowed poison

Never recommend dilution or inducing vomiting. The immediate action is to call a poison control center or emergency services and provide the substance name.

Journey Context:
AI logic often equates 'dilution' with 'making it less concentrated.' However, adding fluid can push the poison into the intestines faster, increasing systemic absorption. Milk can act as a solvent for fat-soluble toxins. Vomiting risks aspiration of caustic substances. Poison centers universally advise against dilution without expert consultation.
