[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check if there is a label for poison center on the label, if so call them and ask. You can also look up the number for poison center online.
If you are in the US this might be a start:

Be careful about calling poison control. My Brother called them when my Niece swallowed a small magnet. The person told them to take Niece to the ER immediately and then called back 30 minutes later. When they had not brought my Niece to the ER, they called their Pediatrician before going to the ER and the Ped told them what to look for and said she would most likely be fine, the poison control person called Child Protective Services. CPS arrived at 2 in the morning and insisted on talking to Brother and SIL and Niece. Then CPS conducted follow up visits.

So call poison control when it is something really serious that you think you might have to do something before you can get to an ER but be careful about calling for things that are less then death inducing because poison control has strict guidelines that they follow and that could lead to a visit from CPS.

Yes, it is one data point but don't call poison control for things that you can call your Pediatrician for.[/quote]

This is some serious fear mongering. [/quote]
