What are the things that help neutralize poison?
There are different neutralizes or antidotes for different poisons. When a person eat poison, does the person ingest the poison or does the poison eat the person? Anyhow, if you notice you food or drink tasted queer, you should take a lot of salt mixed with water, it’s an easy and fast neutral user, you’ll puke the poison out. However, if it is cyanide, you’d be dead long before you’d even started ingesting the salt.
The treatment for an unknown poison is often symptomatic. Since the nature and action is not known, it will not be possible to neutralise the poison like in case of a snake bite. The only option left will be to treat any condition that develops. If the heart fails, revive the heart, if breathing fails, put the victim on a ventilator and so on. The chances of survival will depend largely on luck and the capacity of the body to counteract.
