Poison Prevention

Poison Prevention is the Key! Some poison exposures are intentional, but most are accidental. Many poison exposures can be prevented.

The Alabama Poison Center urges you to be aware of when you and your family are at greatest risk for a poison exposure, and what you can do to prevent such an occurrence. Be aware! Take an active role in Poison Prevention.

Poisonings can occur at times when you least expect them.

When there is an illness in your family
When you are cooking a meal
When you are on the phone
When you are in the car
When you are in the shower
When your family is moving

When you are on vacation
When your child is tired or hungry
When you are on a trip
When you are visiting grandparents
When your usual routine is disrupted
When there is family tension
