The BC Drug and Poison Information Centre: An essential clinical resource and public health partner
Poisonings have a significant impact on the health of people in BC. In 2022, there were more than 2000 poisoning deaths due to the toxic illicit drug supply alone.[1] All age groups are at risk of poisoning, but the types of poisonings change over the lifespan. Exploratory ingestion of household products or medications is most common in young children.
