Poison Control Hotline
The Poison Control Hotline is a free, 24/7 resource that provides immediate assistance and information regarding potential poison exposure. If someone has ingested, inhaled, or come into contact with a toxic substance, calling the hotline connects them to trained medical professionals who can offer guidance on what to do next. This includes advice on treatment, symptoms to watch for, and when to seek emergency care. Knowing the number and having it readily available can be crucial, especially for families with small children or individuals who may be at higher risk for poisoning.
