The Cardinal Glennon Regional Poison Control is available at 772-5200. It also provides stickers which can be placed on hazardous products. These stickers help educate children on the danger of substances they should avoid. Adults should force themselves to read labeling carefully and follow manufacturer guidelines for safe handling. Poisoning can occur not just by ingesting a substance, but even inhaling it or getting irritating material on the skin.
Prompt attention is critical in preventing permanent damage.
Call the poison control center immediately for complete instruction on what to do.
