A one-year-old child was admitted to Pescara’s civil hospital after accidentally ingesting a toxic chemical, believed to be caustic soda, while at home in Giulianova. The child, who suffered serious irritation to the airways, was first stabilized by 118 emergency health personnel. Following initial treatment, the infant was transferred by air ambulance from the Teramo coast city to Pescara. Preliminary reports indicate the child was conscious at the time rescue crews arrived.
