What happens if someone accidentally drinks ABHR?
Most ABHRs on the market contain very unpleasant tasting products, which make consumption unlikely. The risk of poisoning from ingestion of ABHR is uncommon but there has been some diarrhoea and vomiting reported where accidental ingestion has occurred. There is potential for serious clinical effects if large amounts are ingested. It is recommended that care be taken with the placement of ABHR in high-risk areas, (paediatrics, psychiatric units, drug and alcohol units, psycho-geratic units etc) (see section 4.4).
