RHV 13: Poison Control

If someone swallows something that you think might be dangerous, do you call 911 or Poison Control? Kristin Wenger, Education Coordinator from the Blue Ridge Poison Center joined the Rural Health Voice to help you determine which is best.

No matter where in the US you are, 1-800-222-1222 is the number to call. National Poison Prevention Week is March 18-24. Celebrate by visiting the Poison Center materials page for stickers and other resources.
