Corn cockle (Agrostemma githago)
The plant is toxic, but ingesting a small amount rarely causes symptoms.
Corrosive substances
Keywords: sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, lye, soda, base
Orally: Rinse the mouth. If the person develops symptoms such as difficulties in swallowing, increased salivation, vomiting or abdominal pains, seek immediate medical assistance.
Skin and Eye: Rinse the skin and eyes immediately with water for 30-60 minutes. If pain, photophobia or other symptoms occur in the eye, seek medical assistance.
Corticosteroids (cortisone)
Keywords: Hydrocortisone, Hydrocortison®, Prednisolon®, Prednison®
A single dose of cortisone tablets or cream is considered harmless. In large amounts, creams may cause gastrointestinal symptoms. Does not require treatment.
Creeping saxifrage (Saxifraga stolonifera)
The plant is non-toxic.
Croton (Codiaeum variegatum)
The plant causes local irritation. The plant fluid, or sap, can cause local irritation symptoms, such as stinging and burning at the exposure site. Does not absorb into the body. Rinse the exposed area with water.
Currants (Ribes)
The plant is non-toxic.
Cushion Bush (Leucophyta brownii)
The plant is non-toxic.
Cyanoacrylate glue
Keywords: super glue, instant adhesive glue
It is almost impossible to swallow cyanoacrylate glue. The adhesive solidifies and adheres to the inside of the mouth. No special treatment is usually required, because saliva will lift the adhesive in 12 to 48 hours. It is possible to accelerate this by gently brushing the insides of the mouth with a soft toothbrush.
Adhesive attached to the skin can be removed by using a brush, warm water and soap: Immerse the glued areas in warm soapy water and peel gently apart. Do not try to rip or tear the skin apart by force.
Rinse eyes thoroughly for at least 15 minutes. If the eyelids are stuck, apply a wet gauze patch, for example, over the eyes. Do not try to force the eyes open. If adhesive is attached to the retina, it will usually dissociate in a couple of hours. Have a physician or eye specialist check the eyes to ensure there is no damage.
Dahlia (Dahlia)
The plant is non-toxic.
Deadly webcap (Cortinarius rubellus)
Deadly webcap is a deadly poisonous mushroom, which can cause kidney failure. Usually symptoms occur 3 days after ingestion (onset of the symptoms range from 12 hours to 14 days). Vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and excessive thirst are typical symptoms in the beginning.
Ingestion of a small amount (less than a cube of sugar) does not require any treatment. If the ingested amount is more than a cube of sugar, administer activated charcoal and seek medical assistance. Contact the Poison Information Center if someone has ingested Deadly webcap. Save the mushroom for possible identification afterwards.
