Reply to comment by lsa5_sf in do they still make these?! by jermavenus

I wonder if they have the National number (1-800-222-1222) or the Pittsburgh Poison Control number (412-681-6669). I have a bunch with the local number.

In EMT school our instructor taught us the local number with a mnemonic; "They're Sick, they Ate One, it made them so Sick Sick Sick they flipped."

Learned that in 1998. Never used it, still remember it.

You all had useful stuff. I just remember the DARE posterboard with a bunch of pills stuck to it and thinking "Wow, they look like candy, I want one"
