Parental Concerns - Poison-Proof Home

Each year, approximately 2.4 million people - more than half under age 6 - swallow or have contact with a poisonous substance. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has some important tips on how to poison proof your home and needed immediate treatment if poisoning occurs.

The Florida Poison Information Center Network provides poison prevention and management information 24 hours a day through a nationwide, toll-free hotline (1-800-222-1222) accessible by voice and TTY. We suggest you tape this number at your phone and also put it on speed dial if you have it.
