Poison Information Centers

The poison information centers are listed below. Be sure your doctor has this list and the "note to physicians" that comes on pesticide labels. Your doctor should know in advance what pesticides you plan to use so he/she can relay the right chemical name to the poison information center in case of emergency. 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.
