It's vital to know the 4 stages of acetaminophen toxicity.

Knowing the signs can help you save a life:
- Stage 1 usually is within the first 30 minutes to 24 hours of reaching toxic acetaminophen levels. Patients may be asymptomatic or have emesis.
- Stage 2 patients often have emesis and stomach pain, and low blood pressure.
-Stage 3 is where liver damage becomes significant, where death is most common at this stage.
-Stage 4 is recovery, if the patient is properly treated in time.
