What if a poisoning happens?
Baby Sitters' Guide
- Don't panic!
- Call the Banner Poison Control Center at 800-222-1222.
- If you think something has been swallowed, bring the bottle or container to the phone with you.
- Keep the poisoned child within sight. The nurse from the Poison Center will ask you questions about the child. (Does the child look sick, sleepy or super active?)
- If the poison is in the air, first get all the people out of the house to fresh air. Go to a neighbor's house to call the Poison Center.
- Follow the Poison Center nurse's instructions.
