Should your child consume these berries your first plan of action is poison control, they are the one-stop shop for identifying the organism, helping you understand treatment options, and ensuring your child’s health. This number is programmed in your contacts? Right!?
When dealing with poisonous plants (or venomous animals) it’s best to call the state poison control office that you are currently in. The reason for this is simple.
