AAPCC Disclosure Statement: The American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC, www.aapcc.org) maintains the national database of information logged by the U.S. poison control centers. Case records in this database are from self-reported calls; they reflect only information provided when the public or healthcare professionals report an actual or potential exposure to a substance (eg, an ingestion, inhalation, or topical exposure), or request information. Exposures do not necessarily represent a poisoning or overdose. The AAPCC is not able to completely verify the accuracy of every report made to member centers. Additional exposures may go unreported to poison control centers and data referenced from the AAPCC should not be construed to represent the complete incidence of national exposures to any substance(s).
Disclosure: The authors declare no conflict of interest.
