oh my goodness! how awful. i'm glad to know your grandmother is getting medical treatment. luckily the ingestion of household ammonia usually is not fatal. drinking ammonia can cause internal burns of the esophagus. a person who ingests ammonia also can experience pneumonia if the solution gets directly or indirectly (such as through regurgitation or reflux) into the lungs. if someone accidentally drinks household ammonia it's important to take the following steps: call 9-1-1 or the appropriate number for emergency responders. do not induce vomiting. give the person 1 cup of water or milk to drink unless they are vomiting or are experiencing difficulty swallowing. try to get the actual package containing the product the person swallowed. try to determine the amount of ammonia the person ingested. try to determine the precise time the ammonia was swallowed. emergency responders or the poison control center will want this information to help determine the appropriate treatment. wishing your grandmother well! yes u can die iiiiiiiiiiiiii
can drinking ammonia kill you? . my 78 year old grandmother in-law ingested ammonia and i wanted to know if this can be so fatal that it can end her life. she is seeking medical attention.
