More than 2 million poisonings are reported each year to the 61 poison control centers across the country. More than 90 percent of these poisonings occur in the home. The majority of non-fatal poisonings occur in children younger than six years old. Poisonings are also one of the leading causes of death among adults. Visit www.poisonprevention.org for FAQs about poison prevention.
