Our Poison Species Project
T he American Association of Poison Control Centers manages a 24-hour hotline, which is continuously staffed by pharmacists, physicians, nurses, and poison information specialists who have received dedicated training in the field of toxicology. The problem is that people are often unable to get assistance from poison control centers because they don’t know the name of the plant their child or pet ingested, or they don't know the name of the animal or insect that bit them. Poison control centers don’t staff experts who can assist in identifying species of plants, animals, and insects.

Greenspan’s Poisonous Species Project (PSP) will provide a network of experts who will assist in identifying poisonous species, so people can contact a poison control center with the necessary information to get the assistance they need.

Poison Control Centers answer questions about potential poisons in addition to providing treatment management advice about medicines, pesticides, plants, personal care products, household products, bites, stings, food poisoning, alcohol, and gases. Poison control centers handle an average of one poison exposure every 13 seconds; over two million poison exposures are reported every year. [1] More than 75% [2] of poison exposure cases are managed by phone. That greatly reduces the need for costly emergency room and doctor visits...
