When poisons are inhaled, they can cause fast, dangerous effects on the body—and may even put rescuers at risk. In this episode, we explore inhalation poisoning, its symptoms, and what to do if someone has been exposed.

From farm chemicals and industrial fumes to household gases, we outline how to recognise the danger and respond safely.

A critical reminder: always protect yourself first.

The skin is the body’s largest organ—and in first aid, it’s often the first barrier we protect and treat. In this episode, we explore the three main layers of the skin, what they do, and why understanding them matters when managing wounds, burns, bleeding, or infection.

You’ll learn about its role in regulating body temperature, producing vitamin D, removing waste, and sensing danger—and how all of this connects back to providing better first aid.

When something sharp gets stuck in the body, instinct might say "pull it out"—but in first aid, that's exactly what you shouldn't do.

In this episode of the First Aid Show Daily Minute Podcast, we cover: ✅ What an embedded object injury is ✅ Why removing it could cause massive bleeding ✅ How to control bleeding around the object ✅ Padding and supporting techniques to stabilise it ✅ When urgent ambulance care is essential
