You first call 911 or poison control (1-800-222-1222). Then you check the person's vitals. You put them into recovery position if they throw up. Collect samples of the throw up and the chemicals. also keep any empty contains that may have been consumed.

We all swallow chemicals every day -- salt, milk, apple juice, maybe a little mouthwash. You get the idea. It depends on what chemicals you're talking about.

Your body can neutralize some chemicals and filter out others. Others don't do much damage at first but build up in your body until they poison you -- lead is an example. And some can burn human tissue or kill you. For more information, try googling the specific chemical.

The first aid will depend on the chemical ingested. The best way to determine what to do is to call the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
