Ninety percent of all poison exposures involve children below the age of 5, mostly from household cleaners, mothballs and pest control! Call Qatar Poison Center at 4003 1111 to best deal with the situation while at home, with directions from medical professionals to administer first aid response. Only very few cases require a visit to a clinic.
