Certified Poison
Control Centers

Poison Centers, which are operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days
a year. They each have a medical director as well as pharmacists or nurses
available for your emergency questions regarding poisoning episodes. The centers
give emergency information and may refer you to a hospital or doctor's office,
but most poisonings can be treated at home. There is no charge for calling a
Poison Control Center.
