First Aid - Taken Internally

This is what you should do if ammonia is ingested:

• Call a physician.
• If conscious, have the victim drink large amounts of water.
• Do not induce vomiting if the victim is in shock, in extreme pain, or is unconscious.
• If vomiting begins, place the victims face down with head lower than hips. This prevents vomit from entering the lungs and prevents severe injury.
