A substance may be swallowed, breathed in or come into contact with the skin or eyes.
We ask questions to understand what happened.
Our specialists will ask how the person is doing, their age, any health conditions and what substance was involved.
The product label helps us guide you.
If possible, have the medication or product container nearby when you call.
