I've heard about the milk thing before, it's quite common in poison control.

It used to be that the number one thing people knew to do when poisoned was to induce vomiting. However, poison control only recommends that for some poisons, and many others vomiting will make things worse.

I haven't heard of drinking milk as being explicitly bad for anything, so maybe this will become the new main tip.
