A member asked:
My 7 year old grandchild is in hospital for polk berry poision, would a blood test show that that is the reason she has been so sick?

See below: A toxicologist should be involved with a case like this. The treatment is usually gastric lavage (stomach pumped), respiratory support and activated charcoal to absorb any remaining toxin. Poisonings can be very serious in children, depending on the amount eaten and what part of the plant was consumed. Praying forte child, you and your family.
