Iron poisoning, caused by acute ingestion of large quantities
of iron-containing supplements, causes nausea, vomiting, damage
to the lining of the intestinal tract, shock, and liver failure,
and is a leading cause of death among children.

Do you take vitamins or iron supplements? Many
people do and never realize that these products can
pose serious risk for fatal poisonings if directions
are not carefully followed.

Iron is a leading cause of death due to poisoning
in young children. Because perinatal iron therapy is
common, the presence of these tablets, which have a
candylike appearence, in the home may pose a hazard
to a mother's other young children.

From 1999-2001, 10852 cases of iron poisoning were
reported to the American Association of Poison Control
Centers (AAPCC), with 60% occurring in children under
the age of 6 years. Patients presenting to heath care
facilities with minor symptoms of poisoning accounted
for 75% of cases; patients with moderate symptoms
accounted for 21.5% of cases; and patients with severe
symptoms accounted for 2.5% of cases, and there were
3 deaths.
