Today on the Dad's Doomsday Guide we welcome Dr. Daniel E. Brooks, the Medical Director for the Banner Poison & Drug Information Center. 

Dr. Brooks was kind enough to lay out what you can do if you or someone you love has been poisoned either intentionally or accidentally. 

Having called Poison Control when my first child decided to pop open a bottle of lotion and chug away, I can attest to how important such services are when faced with a potentially dangerous situation. Dr. Brooks goes into great detail discussing everything from rattlesnake bites to what not to do if your child ingests a poison. And of course, we discuss the signs and symptoms that may be present if someone has tried to poison you.

One of the main takeaways from our conversation was if you or anyone you know has been poisoned, call the poison control (number below). It will save you valuable time, and ensure the information you are getting is safe and accurate.
