Medical assistance to the victim

In case of poisoning by Wolfberry, medical attention is required. Using self-medication methods is extremely dangerous; it can only worsen the victim’s condition. You cannot hesitate; providing first aid and quickly transporting a poisoned person to a hospital will save a person’s life. How is the treatment carried out?

The main cause of poisoning is the penetration of toxic substances into the gastrointestinal tract, which contributes to irritation of all mucous membranes of the body. Consequently, any good doctor will first begin to work to remove these substances from the patient’s body as quickly and efficiently as possible:

• gastric lavage,
• introduction of Vaseline oil,
• introducing pieces of ice inside,
• treatment of mucous membranes with dicaip.

Skin covered with blisters or burns is treated mainly with Vishnevsky ointment. Levomycetin and streptocide are also used for treatment.

Toxic substances have a huge impact on the cardiovascular system of the body. It is from heart failure that those who try these wolf berries die, so the poisoned person is prescribed strophanthin and other drugs that will restore the functioning of the heart.

It is important to remember that in case of Wolf Bast poisoning, laxatives should not be used, since the intestines are already in a mode of rapid cleansing of the body.
