ABOUT YOUR HEALTH

A poison control center (PCC)
is a plade which helps the fam-
ily doctors keep patients from
becoming statistics.
Each year a hundred or so
Texans — mostly children — be-
come statistics by virtue of be-
ing accidentally poisoned. In
the last four years, State Health
Department record keepers have
added 364 new names to the
grim list of deaths by poisoning.
PCC’s undoubtedly have kept
the list from being much longer.
Fifteen PCC’s now operate in
Texas under local physicians’
guidance. The most recent one
was set up in San Antonio July
18. Others are located in Abi-
lene, Austin, Corpus Christi,
Dallas, Fort Worth. Galveston
Grand Prairie, Harlingen, Hous-
ton, Tyler. Wichita Falls, Odes-
sa, San Angtelo, and Waco.

YOUNG BROTHERS
health engineer who works in-
timately with them, describes a
PCC’s round-the-clock operation
like this:
“A curious youngster eats
some of his mother’s cosmetics
and it makes him sick. His moth-
er calls the doctor, but he doesn’t
know what toxic ingredients the
cosmetic had in it. So he calls
the nearest PCC, reports the
brand name. A quick check of an
index card file reveals the toxic
substance and the antidote.”
Twelve of Texas’ 15 PCC’s are
equipped to provide emergency
treatment, in addition to supply-
ing detailed information on an-
tidotes on a moment’s notide.
McGaw says that PCC’s in Tex-
as’ major cities handle some
150-250 emergency calls every
month. And the volume is in-
creasing all the tinte, with more
and more potentially hazardous
products being marketed each
year.
“Poison control centers are not
intended to answer queries di-
rectly from thb public,” says
McGaw. “They’re set up to serve
the physician who serves the pa-
tient. This is thle way they can
be of most benefit.”
Even if the ingested product
turns out to be harmless, the
PCC has still saved the patient
the discomfort of having his
stomach pumptd, McGaw points
out.
He and other state health of-
ficials would like to see centers
in the Panhandle, on the South-
western border, and in far Wtest
Texas so all areas of Texas
would be within an economical
telephone call of a center.
The Department’s division of
occupational health supplies a
file of information on poisonous
materials and their antidotes af-
ter the center has been esab-
lishled.
