AB  - Over  2  million  poisoning  exposures  are  reported  to  the  American  Association  of  Poison  Control  Centers’  National  Poison  Data  System  each  year.1  Nearly  half  of  all  reported  exposures  involve  children  aged  5  years  or  younger,  and  two-thirds  can  be  considered  “pediatric”  exposures.  Seventy  percent  of  poisoning  exposures  reported  to  poison  centers  are  managed  at  home,  with  less  than  10%  of  exposures  leading  to  hospitalization.  In  2004,  the  federally  commissioned  Institute  of  Medicine  determined  that  poisoning  was  the  second  leading  cause  of  injury-related  death  in  the  United  States,  with  costs  exceeding  $12.6  billion  each  year.2  Recently,  poisoning  has  surpassed  motor  vehicle  collisions  as  the  leading  cause  of  death  due  to  injury  in  the  United  States.
