1-800-222-1222 – Write this number down

This is the number for Poison Control. Luckily I had it handy this weekend. I am also very lucky that my #2 Son did not get sick. He decided to try out the flower of a Crown of Thorns plant. He and his brother were playing around them. I was trying to get them into the sandbox and turned around to see both with a handful of flowers. While watching them and deciding for a better way to stop them, #2 Son sticks one of the flowers in his mouth. I run to get it out, but when I tried, there was nothing in his mouth. The question was: did he spit it out or did he swallow it? I assumed he swallowed it and called Poison Control. I did what they told me to do. He did not get sick. I will assume he spit it out. What was really nice – poison control called back to see if everything was ok or if I needed more assistance about 4 hours later. This number is good for adults who may have swallowed something poisonous or gotten something on your skin. This.is.NOT.just.for.children.

Here it is again: Poison Control = 1-800-222-1222
