Activated Charcoal
Used since ancient times, activated charcoal is a black, odorless, flavorless powder that can treat various ailments, including drug overdoses or as an emergency anti-poison remedy. For those unfamiliar with activated charcoal, you may be thinking of charcoal briquettes that are used on grills. But activated charcoal are different from briquettes in that they have been activated at high temperatures and have been processed to be more porous.
For emergency treatment of certain kinds of poisoning activated charcoal is used, sometimes several doses, to prevent the poison from being absorbed by the stomach into the body. Activated charcoal works to stop poison because it has pores that can trap the chemicals.
