Poison or toxins can make you sick or harm you if you swallow, touch, or breathe them in. Many poisonings happen by accident at home. The information here can help you know what to watch for and what to do if you are exposed to a poison or toxin.
If you think you’ve been exposed to something that could be harmful, call the Poison and Drug Information Service (PADIS). In Alberta, call 1-800-332-1414 anytime day or night.
Some reactions are mild at first and get worse without proper treatment.
