National Poison Control Center

The National Poison Control Center is a resource in the United States that provides immediate assistance and information for poisoning emergencies. It is staffed by trained medical professionals and toxicologists who can help individuals, parents, and healthcare providers understand the risks of exposure to potentially harmful substances, whether they are chemicals, medications, or plants. By calling a dedicated hotline, people can receive guidance on how to respond effectively to poisoning situations, including whether to go to the hospital, how to manage symptoms, and what preventive measures can be taken.
