Poison Information Centers

Be sure your doctor has this list of poison information centers and the "note to physicians" printed on labels of dangerous pesticide. Your doctor should know in advance what dangerous pesticides you plan to use so he or she can relay the right chemical name to the poison information center in case of emergency. Treatment for pesticide poisoning is very exacting. In an emergency, you could call the poison information center, but it is preferable to let your doctor consult the center in order to avoid mistakes.
