A “phone number to poison control” refers to a contact number designated for providing immediate medical advice and guidance in cases of suspected poisoning. For instance, the U.S. National Poison Control Center can be reached 24/7 at 1-800-222-1222.
These phone numbers serve a critical role in preventing unnecessary harm or even fatalities caused by accidental or intentional ingestion of toxic substances. They offer expert assistance to individuals, healthcare professionals, and emergency responders, ensuring prompt and appropriate medical care.
