Barry Dock RNLI was tasked to Sully Island on Saturday following a potential poisoning incident.
The RNLI's inshore lifeboat was tasked by HM Coastguard to locate, assess and medevac two casualties on the Island, who were reported to have potentially ingested Hemlock.
The volunteer crew were advised that the casualties were experienced foragers, on the eastern beach and were located quickly.
On arrival, the casualties were showing signs of anxiety, so the crew immediately fitted them with lifejackets and embarked both onto the ILB for immediate transport to the mainland.
Once ashore, they were handed to the Barry Coastguard Rescue Team (CRT), who identified elevated pulse rates. Oxygen was prepared from the ILB’s supply, with an RNLI crew member staying to assist the CRT with care.
The officer in charge remained in contact with the ambulance service while the crew monitored the casualties. As the tide fell, the ILB could not remain on scene, so with their condition stable and a plan in place, Barry Dock ILB stood down, returned to station and was made ready for service, while the casualties were taken to A&E.
Bill Kitchen, Lifeboat Operations Manager, Barry Dock RNLI said: ‘We’ve since been in touch and are very relieved to hear that both have made a full recovery. They absolutely made the right call in seeking help – in situations like this, it’s crucial that medical attention is sought without delay. We’re very glad this had a positive outcome.’
