Abstract:
Last fall, a two-year old North Carolina boy died from accidentally eating seed peanuts, which are treated with a very toxic organic phosphate insecticide called Thimet. According to Dr. Shirley Osterhout of the Duke Poison Control Center, more than half of the state’s poisoning cases involved children under four years of age. This article discusses recent cases handled at the center, sources of poison and hazardous waste, and prevention of poisonings.
