Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

Consumption of a small quantity (one or two sips) of chemical like harpic will not cause death of a person.
However, immediate rinsing of mouth and all other sites where the chemical came in contact is required.
You can take the person immediately to emergency department for a gastric lavarge to remove all the chemical which has gone into the stomach.

Thanks and take care
