I particularly laughed at call number twelve during the ten am to eleven am block.

A 68 year old man accidentally used capsaicin cream instead of hemorrhoid cream.

Ah, all the fun of the day after eating hot wings, without the hot wings.

''A father called about tater tots he had cooked in the oven; after his kids ate them, the caller realized there was a charred rat corpse in the oven.''

This site is hilarious.

If you click the link, it actually tells you the medical applications.

Also good for making eggs South of the Border.

I never realized the ER would need to call Poison Control to get advice.

Also, between 7am and 10am I have found the two reasons I've had to call them - my son ate Vaseline when he was 1+ and my daughter took a bite of my deodorant stick last year.

Like fade said, it has medicinal uses. Also, we're not talking about a bottle of spicy liquid like The Source or some other hot sauce application, it's sold in tubes like icy-hot, only they're red and white and really do look surprisingly like tubes of Preparation H.

I never thought a thread with the title "A day at the poison control center" would get a "funny" tag.
