Treatment for acute exposure depends on the substance involved and the severity of the symptoms. Basic steps include:
Removing the individual from the source of exposure. Decontaminating the affected area, such as washing the skin or eyes. Providing supportive care, such as administering oxygen or intravenous fluids. Using antidotes if available and appropriate for the specific toxin.
It is essential to seek medical attention immediately to ensure proper treatment and to minimize potential long-term effects.
