[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 588662, member: 15907"] When Kiddo ate most of a bottle of children's vitamins about 4 years ago, after I finished yelling at Kiddo, Housemate RN handed me the bottle, I called Poison Control, and automatically went into the "I have a 14 year old autistic girl, 5'3" and 125 lbs, who ate 2/3 of a bottle of Kirkland brand iron-free children's vitamins, 300 count (or something like that), over the course of the last day and a half. She is showing no signs of distress or illness, and I want to know what the possible toxicity effects are." RN looked at me, jaw-dropped at my professional tone and succinct delivery of the information. When I got off the phone (possible tummy upset, no toxic effects, don't give her any vitamins for at least two weeks) she said "You did that very well." I smiled. "I've had LOTS of practice." I also used to keep the local Search & Rescue card, and weekly refresh a small zip-lock bag of worn socks and undergarments just in case - she was a runner for many years. [/QUOTE]
