Supporting (but not calling) Poison Control
Posted at 5:29 am on March 15, 2010 by Catherine
I’ve only had to call the Poison Control Hotline once in my life (Praise the Lord and Knock on Wood). It was scary, but they were calm and helpful, and their solution did the trick. I’m glad to know they are there.
And I’m not the only one. In 2009, the Illinois Poison Control took over 100,000 calls, most cases involving someone under the age of six. I can believe it. No matter how hard I babyproof this house, my little rascally boys find a way to get into anything and everything they set their minds to.
Why am I telling you all this? Because March is Illinois Poison Prevention month, and this week is National Poison Prevention week. And, to celebrate $1 will be contributed to IPC for every new Facebook fan (of IPC) 
from Illinois during the month of March. As mothers, this is a service that we – literally – cannot live without.
So!! Click here and become a fan of the Illinois Poison Control Center. And spread the word! Then, click here to learn about five things you didn’t know were poisonous to children – seriously, I didn’t know all of these.
Here’s hoping (and praying) we don’t have to call IPC anytime soon.
