What is Poisoning and Why is it Harmful?

Poisoning happens when toxic substances enter the body - through swallowing, breathing, skin contact, or injection. Even small amounts of some toxins can harm organs, affect the nervous system, or even cause death if not treated quickly by medical professionals.

In Bangalore, with its busy city life and increasing exposure to chemicals, drugs, and pollution, both accidental and intentional poisoning cases are on the rise. That's why Sonu Hospital has become a trusted name in poisoning treatment in Bangalore.

Common Types of Poisoning

In Sonu Hospital, our emergency section deals with various cases of poisoning such as:
 

• Chemical poisoning (cleaning agents, pesticides, detergents)
• Food poisoning (bacteria, rotten food, toxins)
• Overdose of drugs or alcohol
• Carbon monoxide poisoning
• Snakebites and insect bites
• Heavy metal poisoning (lead, arsenic, mercury)
   

Each requires different treatment - and that's why getting the right emergency poisoning care promptly at Sonu Casualty can save your life.
