Eating charcoal may save you! If you have consumed a poisonous plant and begin to feel a weak stomach ache, eating charcoal will absorb the poison!

    Activated Charcoal solution is something EMT’s use for oral poisonings. Some things to note: charcoal should be suspended in water and must be administered immediately after an ORAL poisoning (it will not work for any other poisons) and you MUST NOT vomit the solution up. The charcoal will bind to the toxins before they can be absorbed by your stomach and reach your blood stream.
