RHV 13: Poison Control




The Rural Health Voice show

Summary:   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 (https://med.virginia.edu/brpc/) 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 (https://med.virginia.edu/brpc/free-materials/view-our-materials/) for stickers and other resources.   Additional information: www.poison.org (https://www.poison.org/) HRSA National Poison Prevention Week web page (https://www.poisonhelp.hrsa.gov/what-can-you-do/national-poison-prevention-week/index.html)
