OVERDOSE MYTHS

These methods just DON'T work!

Placing person in a bath or shower – they could drown
Making them vomit – they could choke
Leaving them alone – they could stop breathing
Placing ice down their pants – cools body even faster, slowing breathing
Kicking, slapping too hard – could cause long-term damage
Injecting them with anything (saltwater, milk, cocaine)
- Does not "balance" someone out
- Wastes time and can cause other problem such as heart attack
- The more substances in the body the harder to recover/respond
