When the unexpected happens, Poison Help is here for you with fast, free treatment advice by calling the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) or visiting PoisonHelp.org. Whether it’s a question or an emergency, Poison Help can provide life-saving information when people need it most. Calling a poison center is faster and more accurate than an internet search. On average, 90% of poisonings happen in homes in America each year, and more than 70% of people who call Poison Help get the help they need right where they are—saving the cost of a trip to a healthcare professional or hospital.

This year, National Poison Prevention Week (NPPW) is March 16-22, 2025.

NPPW brings together the Nation’s 53 Poison Centers, community organizations, and government agencies to raise awareness of the risks posed by poisonous substances, precautions people can take to keep their families safe, and using the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) and website (PoisonHelp.org) when responding to an emergency. We welcome you to join us in educating the public on the valuable services provided by Poison Centers.
