As National Poison Prevention Week (March 17-23) unfolded, health organizations emphasized the importance of being prepared for poison emergencies.
With a special focus on the services provided by the Poison Center at the University of Kansas Health System and Safe Kids Kansas, residents are reminded that help is just a phone call away at Poison Help (1-800-222-1222).
This week serves as a critical reminder that poisonings can occur unexpectedly, affecting anyone, regardless of age. Surprisingly, the home is where most poisonings occur, underscoring the need for immediate access to reliable information.
