Survival Tip #134
Purging
What does a beautiful sunset at the beach have to do with purging? Two things. First, salt water. Second, you want to have a happy place.
So, you disregarded my last two tips and ate a plant you didn’t identify, nor test for safety. Now your stomach feels like a boa constrictor inside of you. Whenever you have ingested something you shouldn’t have, be it plant, or chemical, you need to purge right away. For those who don’t know what I mean by that, I mean throw up immediately.
The quickest and simplest way to induce vomiting is to stick your fingers down your throat until you trigger your gag reflex. The next trick is to chug salt water. Both of these will purge the contents of your stomach and could save your life depending on what you ate.
I strongly recommend referring to the prior two tips, and saving yourself the hassle, but it’s always good to know.
Another little tip for salt water.
It’s great for curing constipation in the form of an enema.
Yet another use for the siphon pipe I carry round in my pack.
