The poison control provides a wonderful service that everyone needs in the event that someone swallows, inhales, touches any kind of foriegn substance they will be there to tell you what to do. There are so many instances where this service is needed. Whether someone gets a chemical in their eyes, swallows bleach or a unknown pill this service is great. They are very helpful and professional. My friends mom called them one time because she had found a pill that my friend dropped and she thought she was on drugs and they identified the pill for her. She told them the pill had TYME on it and they identified it as tylenol menstrual pills she was embarrased but it is always better to be safe than sorry.
