Antifreeze drug alert

A SOUTH Australian resident is being treated for poisoning after consuming a green liquid drug believed to contain antifreeze.

SA Health yesterday issued a warning after the young person was admitted to Royal Adelaide Hospital after a party.

The patient is believed to have suffered ethylene glycol poisoning after drinking a “bad batch” of a recreational drug that contains the green antifreeze agent.

SA Health is urging anyone who was at the same party and ingested a green liquid to go to an emergency department.
