Signs Of An Overdose 
How To Save A Life

 

Signs of overdose

  • Snoring deeply - this is often and understandably mistaken for sleeping
  • Turning blue
  • Not breathing
  • No initial signs at all - the effects can kick-in hours after the initial hit

 

What not to do

Things you should never do if you think someone has overdosed.
  • Never put people under a cold shower or in a cold bath
  • Never pick someone up to walk them around
  • Never smack, hit or hurt someone to try and bring them round
  • Never inject someone with salt water

The only affects any of these things might have, is to cause more damage, increase the likelihood of the person dying and/or delay the time it takes to call an ambulance.
