webPOISONCONTROL Status

Often, it’s safe to stay home, but webPOISONCONTROL will tell you what symptoms to expect and when to call Poison Control or go to an ER. Version 3. 2 allows users to get answers even if symptoms have already developed and expands the scope of webPOISONCONTROL beyond swallowed poisons to eye, skin, inhalation and injection exposures, and bites and stings.  Use the this app app to find out if you need to call Poison Control or go to an ER, or what to do if it’s safe to stay home.  Next tell us whether you have symptoms, and if so, webPOISONCONTROL will check to see if they are common, expected symptoms, or more serious.  Get accurate answers prepared by poison control experts.  Just enter the age, substance, amount taken (if swallowed), weight, and time since the exposure to get an immediate recommendation.  It helps users determine if an exposure is dangerous and requires medical attention.  A barcode reader allows you to scan the product instead of typing or searching for the product name.  The this app® mobile app provides expert help for a possible poisoning.  Did you splash a product in your eye or on your skin?  Did you take a double dose of your medicine?  Did your toddler eat pills from grandma’s purse?  Did the baby eat a berry, a flower or a cigarette?  Are you coughing from irritating fumes?  This free, confidential app will guide you.  Did you swallow something that might be poisonous?  Did you take the dog’s medicine?
