Poison Adventure Program

In the United States, a child is poisoned every 30 seconds.  Elementary age children need to know how to identify poisons and respond to poison emergencies.  The Poison Adventure program was created especially for elementary age children using exciting games and a humorous video to teach these important lessons.
