QUOTE FOR THE WEEKEND:

“In 2014, the 55 U.S. poison control centers provided telephone guidance for nearly 2.2 million human poison exposures.1 That’s about:

  • 6.7 poison exposures/1000 population,
  • 42.6 poison exposures in children younger than 6 years/1000 children,
  • 1 poison exposure reported to U.S. poison control centers every 15 seconds.”
