What is the correct way to dispose of accidentally ingesting desiccant?

When people accidentally ingest desiccant, they should drink some water and some milk immediately, not just drink some water will burn the digestive tract, you can drink some milk and egg whites appropriately, these have some reactions with quicklime to form gastric mucosa in people's stomachs, have a protective effect, reduce the damage to the digestive tract, and immediately send to the hospital.

Be sure to distinguish the type of desiccant, it will have quicklime desiccant and silica gel desiccant, and there are some unmarked desiccant, different desiccant will have some lime components in it, and the damage to the body is relatively large. When people accidentally ingested lime desiccant, they can drink milk egg whites and send them to the hospital for treatment to reduce damage. When people accidentally ingest silica gel desiccant, the harm to the body is not particularly great, because the desiccant will not be absorbed by the stomach and intestines, and this anti-drying agent can be directly excreted from the body, and the toxicity to the body is minimal.

When this happens, it is necessary to judge whether it has accidentally encountered the esophagus, for some children, when the silica gel desiccant is sucked into the esophagus, there may be suffocation. There are also some desiccant is not identified, which needs to be judged comprehensively, the general desiccant will have quicklime in the color of white, but also lumpy, after moisture will become powdery, and silica gel desiccant is generally small balls, the color is transparent, some desiccant color is colored, so by the desiccant color form to distinguish, and then take the corresponding solution.

The impact of desiccant on the body is relatively large, and many children do not know whether this kind of thing can be eaten, so when buying some food, be sure to take out the desiccant in advance and throw it away to prevent children from eating it by mistake. When you accidentally ingest desiccant, the most correct way to deal with it is to send it to the hospital immediately, and make some small measures in the process of sending it to the hospital to prevent further damage to the body, which is the best solution.

Gastric lavage should be done immediately. Because there is a lot of corrosive stuff in the desiccant. If you eat it, it may corrode your stomach.

The best thing to do is to drink plenty of water, then induce vomiting, repeat 3 or 4 times, and rush to the hospital**.

Hurry up to the hospital to find a doctor for a professional **, gastrointestinal endoscopy, gastric lavage if necessary, if it is a small amount, you need to drink a lot of water.

The most common desiccant are: quicklime desiccant, montmorillonite desiccant, silica gel desiccant, among which quicklime desiccant is cheap and has good water absorption, which is especially common in children's puffed food, seaweed, dried meat and other food packaging.

When ingesting quicklime desiccant by mistake, it can be diluted with milk, and children generally take it at 10 ml per kilogram of body weight, and the total amount is appropriate, so as to avoid vomiting and reflux burning the esophagus. Do not use vinegar and acid, as the neutralization process releases a large amount of heat and can aggravate the damage.

When the silica gel desiccant is ingested, a small amount of silica gel desiccant will not cause harm to the human body and will not be absorbed by the stomach and intestines, so it can not be treated, unless it causes vomiting. However, if you accidentally ingest blue silica gel desiccant, you should seek medical attention immediately.

When ingested montmorillonite desiccant by mistake, it is non-toxic and harmless, so there is no need to worry about causing harm.

I hope it can help you, if you eat it by mistake, the best way is to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
