Earlier, The purported rise in corrosive ingestion cases has alarmed doctors at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims), who fear that household cleaners are increasingly being consumed, particularly by women, to attempt suicide. Corrosive ingestion refers to the consumption of substances that can cause chemical burns and damage to the gastrointestinal tract.
These substances, often found in household cleaners or industrial chemicals, can cause immediate symptoms like burning in the mouth and throat, drooling, and vomiting, and may result in severe long-term complications.
