The poison information centers are listed below. Be sure your doctor has this list and the "note to physicians" that comes on dangerous pesticide labels. A good practice is to notify your doctor in advance on the dangerous pesticides you plan to use so he 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.
