So either they will be told to vomit...or drink a glass of milk. Cookies are optional.

In school, we were always taught that you shouldn't try to make someone who swallowed a toxic substance vomit. This is because the poison might burn the throat as it comes back up.
I also remember being told to give them milk. We were told why, but I've forgotten...
