Help me! I drank a whole bottle of homeopathic cold medicine!?!
Question: The medicine contains rattlesnake venom! I'm so stupid. Should I make myself puke or drink lots of water?

Thanks for setting up the response from the alt-med haters. Did you agree this beforehand? Or are you really a few people on this board?
PS: Check the label before you "accidentally" drink a whole bottle of it the next time.
you should go to the hospital for a charcoal treatment so it can soak up any toxins..puking or drinking water would not be good enough
You may not believe in Doctors but they are nothing to be afraid of. I am a disabled retired Nurse. Call your local poison control center-the operator will help you and get some help. It does not matter why you did it. And tell someone whereever you are.
1) The homeopathic cold "medicine" is nothing but water. You have nothing to worry about. The "rattlesnake venom" has been diluted out so much that it is 99.999999999% (or more) water now.
2) The only reason you are feeling sick to your stomach is because you are worrying too much. Relax.
3) Eating the contents of a Brita filter may be dangerous. They have OTHER things in there, besides activated charcoal.
If you RELAX and forget about it, you will be fine.
Once again Opus could not have answered this question any better. You drank salt water, no big deal. Relax and go have a pizza.
You don't have to worry one bit.
In all probability you took Lachesis (made from the venom of the bushmaster). Homeopathic remedies are extremely diluted and the remedies can not in all probability contain the venom itself.
You can use homeopathic remedy Nux Vomica 30 or Arsenicum Album 30 (3 drops in ? glass of water; 3 times in the day) to antidote it.
