I use this once a month at least with my toddler
It's great, haven't had any serious issues yet but it helps us not freak out and get the info we need to know if it's serious.
Not for use by EMS Providers
App requires you to input too much information (including email address, zip code, etc) prior to giving out the necessary info you would need if you were to utilize this tool on scene of an emergency.
Can’t use this as a tool?
I wanted to use this to see if various household items are toxic but they require you to enter your zip code. The app has a check box if you’re using the platform as a tool but they still ask you for your email and zip code. Please make the app friendlier to people who are curious.
Great App!
Really helpful information. Quick and easy to use and I especially liked that I could get the same great advice without having to call.
Highly recommended !!!
We had a huge scare with my 5 year old while we were overseas. Communication was difficult with the local poison control phone line and this app was extremely helpful. While my wife was on the phone I was with my son and filling in the questions on this app. I got the result on the app saying no ER visit was necessary but expect a list of side effects. Eventually my wife got the same exact info from a doctor on the phone. Having both perspectives was so reassuring. A day later and our son is fine, just as the app (and Dr) said. Thank you for this amazing service/support when you really need of.

A must-have
This is a resource everyone should keep on hand. As a microbiology student who’s constantly around chemicals, webPoisonControl is an invaluable tool to get fast expert advice.
Thanks
Thank you for this. very easy to use in a high stress situation. put it on my phone hoping i never would need it and unfortunately one day i did. it helped so much as my grandmother had to use it and has limited knowledge about using the internet, and was able to use it easily. thank you
MUST HAVE APP FOR PARENTS
When your 16 month old takes a nibble of a dishwasher tablet & you are sure he will be fine but NEED that reassurance! You can look up the information without having to make a phone call!! Truly a life saver! Share this app with friends & family!
A Tremendous Resource
Every school nurse certainly and anyone working or caring for children of any age should have this App readily at their fingertips. This tool is invaluable for immediate assessment, intervention, and emergency contacts that will save precious minutes well before EMS and ED interventions are available.

Thank you!
My 2 year may or may not have swallowed eye drops. This tool helped us determine she hadn’t invested enough, and ways to be on the look out. Super easy to use.
Does not work on iOS 12..3
Does not work on iOS 12..3, Only the slash screen comes up, then roughly 3 min. Later an error comes up. Web PoisonControl.org could not be reached With a “try again” Button that did not work.
Great !!
Fast and easy. Accurate and felt easier. ! Thanks
You may only need it once, but....
This app was really reassuring! My daughter ate a bit of reed diffuser Oil and used it as lip gloss when at her grandmas house...she is only 2. I was very worried, she didn’t really swallow any significant amount but if it wasn’t for this app I wouldn’t have known what to do! Very helpful that it sends check ups on the individual too!

You won’t need this app probably ever. But when you do...
It works quickly and easily. Precisely what you’ll need.

Amazing resource!
I left a review on the online site saying I needed an app for this and turns out... There is one!
I use the webpoison control site all the time. My son is 10 months old and has gotten into some questionable things. I love having the Poison Control resource right there to check whether I should freak out or not.
Pretty sure using the Poison Control resource has legit saved me thousands of dollars in emergency room/urgent care bills.
