Household and environmental chemicals were the leading causes of poisoning, but the center also received nearly 8,000 calls about medication poisonings in children less than 5 years old. Simple precautions could have prevented most of these exposures. To mark National Poison Prevention Week, the Health Department has launched an NYC Poison Prevention Facebook page to raise awareness of poison prevention and medicine safety. http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/pr2010/pr012-10.shtml Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:00:00 GMT http://nyc.gov/health/pregnancy http://nyc.gov/health/pregnancy Tue, 16 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/pr2010/pr006-10.shtml A traditional morning sickness remedy, commonly known as calabash chalk, has been found to contain lead and arsenic, the Health Department warned today.
