MECHANISM OF ACTION OF MILK TO CORROSIVE POISON.

Corrosive is the substance that fixes, destroy and causes erosion of the surface coming in it's contact. Including strong acid and base. Note: not all poisons milk can be helpful for example snake bite milk is not helpful because the venoum goes direct to the blood circulation. Milk is best first aid is to dilute the poison as quickly as possible. For acid or alkaline (bases) give the victim water or preferable milk or ice cream one cup under 5 years or 1 to 2 glasses for patient over 5 years. Milk and ice cream is better than water because it dilute and help neutralize the poison. Its very important to the victim get to hospital without delay. Mechanism of action by drinking milk is not only dilute the poison engested with that person but also overwhelm the lactose enzymes,allowing the stomach's hydrochloric acid to curdle the milk which coats the stomach and intestine, slowing down the rate which the intestine or stomach to absorb the poison. Dilution of poison occur because milk is alkalinicity hence when person engest Acid corrosive subastance when the victim drink milk forms water and salt that is not harmful to our body. We not induce the vomiting in corrosive engestion because acid will erode the esophagus hence substance swallowed could be harmful to the lung and esophagus lead to severity, dehydration which actually be worse for the body than the poison you ingested. Generraly Milk just pauses the digestion until you can seek proper medical care conservatively.
