✅ Swallowed Poison:
• Don’t induce vomiting!
• Rinse the mouth with water and call the Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26) immediately.
✅ Skin Exposure:
• Remove contaminated clothing and rinse the skin with running water.
✅ Inhaled Poison:
• Move the person to fresh air immediately.
✅ Suspected Bites or Stings:
• Follow specific first aid for the bite and call for help.

🚨 If the person is unresponsive or struggling to breathe, call 000 immediately!

🍬 Diabetes Awareness: Be Ready to Help in an Emergency! 🍬

With over 1.5 million Australians living with diabetes, understanding how to assist during a diabetes-related emergency is essential. Whether it’s hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), the right response can make all the difference.

💡 First Aid Tips for Diabetes Emergencies:
✅ Low Blood Sugar (Hypo):
• Give a quick sugar fix, like juice, glucose tablets, or lollies.
• Follow up with a longer-lasting carbohydrate (like a sandwich).

✅ High Blood Sugar (Hyper):
• Encourage hydration (water only).
• Seek medical advice if symptoms worsen.

✅ When in Doubt: If the person is unresponsive, call 000 immediately. Never give food or drink to someone unconscious!

At The First Aid Training Guy, we teach you how to recognize the signs of a diabetes emergency and provide effective first aid.

🤕 Soft Tissue Injuries: Know How to Respond! 🤕

Whether it’s from a sports game, a workplace mishap, or just an everyday stumble, soft tissue injuries like sprains, strains, and bruises are common in the community. Proper first aid can speed up recovery and prevent further damage!

💡 First Aid Tips for Soft Tissue Injuries (R.I.C.E):
✅ Rest: Avoid using the injured area to prevent further strain.
✅ Ice: Apply a cold pack wrapped in a cloth for 15 minutes every 2 hours.
✅ Compression: Use an elastic bandage to reduce swelling and provide support.
✅ Elevation: Keep the injured area raised above heart level if possible.

🚨 Seek medical advice if there’s severe pain, swelling, or you suspect a fracture.
At The First Aid Training Guy, we teach you practical techniques to handle injuries like these with confidence and care.

🌬️ Asthma in Australia: Be Ready to Help! 🌬️

Did you know that over 2.7 million Aussies live with asthma? With triggers like pollen, bushfire smoke, and seasonal changes, asthma attacks can strike anytime—and knowing how to respond could save a life.

💡 First Aid Tips for Asthma Attacks:
✅ Sit the person upright: Keep them calm and comfortable and away from their trigger.
✅ Use a Spacer (if available): It makes the inhaler more effective.
✅ Follow the 4x4x4 Rule:
1. 1 puff of reliever & 4 breaths
2. Repeat 4 times
3. Wait 4 minutes.
4. If no improvement, repeat.
✅ Call 000: If symptoms persist or worsen, seek emergency help.

Asthma is common in Australia, but preparedness is key! At The First Aid Training Guy, we teach you how to confidently handle asthma emergencies and other life-threatening situations.
