All right, so this is gonna be your toxicology your poison section. What is the antidote for ethylene glycol ingestion? If you're not aware ethylene glycol is used in antifreeze windshield wiper fluid And various solvents and cleaners that you may find under the sink in a laboratory in an industrial setting Um, so somebody ingested an unknown substance.
