Every year, the most common poison exposures involve:

  • Medications (both prescription and over-the-counter)
  • Household cleaners and disinfectants
  • Personal care products (like cosmetics, lotions, and hand sanitizers)
  • Plants and mushrooms
  • Pesticides and insect repellents

If you’re ever unsure if something is poisonous, call the Iowa Poison Control Center for expert guidance.
