Very little. The most he can do is help to neutralize and soften his action a little. In case of intoxication, the first thing to do is to see a doctor and not look for homemade solutions. There are poisons that act directly on the site, causing injuries to the esophagus and stomach when they come into contact with the mucosa. “In these cases, drinking milk can help protect the walls of the affected organs, mitigating the injuries while the person is on the way to the hospital”, says gastroenterologist Heitor Rosa, president of the Brazilian Federation of Gastroenterology. In cases of ingestion of systemic poisons – as those that penetrate the bloodstream shortly after ingestion are called – milk cannot help. “While the poison is in the stomach, it can even slightly neutralize its action, but without interfering with the body’s absorption of the poison”, says Heitor.
Therefore, if it is a snake or scorpion bite, there is no point in drinking milk, since the poison obviously enters the body not through the stomach, but through another way.
