Signs of an Overdose! What if No One Called for Help? Would You?


Signs of overdose

  • Snoring deeply

    This is often and understandably mistaken for sleeping

  • Turning blue

  • Not breathing

  • No initial signs at all

     the effects can kick-in hours after the initial hit


What not to do

Things you should never do if you think someone has overdosed
        * Never put people under a cold shower or in a cold bath .
        * Never pick someone up to walk them around.
        * Never smack, hit or hurt to try and bring them round.
        * Never inject someone with salt water

The only affects any of these things might have, is to cause more damage, increase the likelihood of the person dying and/or delay the time it takes to call an ambulance.
