Our Poison Species Project
T he American Association of Poison Control Centers manages a 24-hour
hotline, which is continuously staffed by pharmacists, physicians,
nurses, and poison information specialists who have received dedicated
training in the field of toxicology. The problem is that people are
often unable to get assistance from poison control centers because they

Poison control centers handle an average of one poison exposure every 13 seconds; over two million poison exposures are reported every year.
