It's never exactly the RIGHT time to learn that poison control centers are completely frigging awesome, but I'm still happy I did.

(We split a daffodil bulb for dinner. Please don't ask why. We are all fine, if blorpy.)

I...I can't ask why>?

Um. *clamps hand over mouth*

One little girl was overheard saying, "WHY ISN'T THIS BEING YUMMY?!" in a very sad voice. It would be funny if I weren't feeling so nasty!!

"wait, that wasn't a shallot?"

Slimiest shallot I ever saw! There were good intentions propping up a game of telephone, and we are all a bit wiser tonight. :)

is that actually what happened?

It's more complicated, and it makes more sense when you hear it all, but... kinda.

Wait, a daffodil bulb made its way into your box of shallots? Huh?

eep! i'm glad y'all are all right.

glad you're all ok.

Oh that's totally rotten to have happen! I'm so sorry!

I hope you all are better soon. *hugs to all*

Glad you're ok!

Sorry you had to have a learning experience!

Oh...my. Good knowledge to have, but there are certainly better ways to gain said knowledge than through direct experience. *hugs*

I'm glad everyone is okay.

Glad everyone is okay!

I too have had occasion to call poison control. And they *are* awesome. I'm glad you're fine.

Out of curiosity, what is the treatment for eating a daffodil bulb? Some manner of emetic, I'm guessing?

After hearing all of our particulars, she basically said to ride it out for 6-8 hours and it should work itself out. :/

yes, an emetic. it turns out that daffodil bulbs are an emetic, so it works out fine.

Convenient, that.
I hope you're feeling better this morning!

If you have to call one, I feel it is *way* better for them to be completely frigging awesome, though. I hope it's all over very soon.

D seems to have the worst of it. :( and thanks, me too.

*hugs* I hope you are all happy and healthy in the morning.

Yikes! Glad to know you're going to be okay, especially after reading a bit about the effects of ingesting daffodil bulbs. Can we do anything to help? Bring Gatorade and Alka-Seltzer?

Yeah. I asked the Internet before calling Poison Control, so, yeah, I was there. It seems like it'll be fine, now, though, so we are drowning our sorrows in bland foods and Land of the Lost episodes on hulu. Thank you for the offer, though, a lot!

Please don't die!

Aiee. Glad you're fine.

I had to call them once. It's kind of a funny story, but I can totally understand not wanting to tell it. It's still sorta scary even thought it was fine.

I am grateful that S's stomach has a good instinct in this sort of situation, and hope you're all feeling better right quick.

Yay for poison control! If you need anything today let me know... I hope you feel better soon.

That is completely *fascinating*. Why, you ask? Well, because *just last night* at the usual dinner gathering at Doyles after aerials practice, one of the group was wondering just how many accidental deaths occurred per year involving houseplants. Really. Various people spent 10-15 minutes with their Iphones trying to figure this out, from sources such as the NIH web page, CDC, Google, and Wolfram Alpha.

Hope you get less queasy soon.

I'm glad it has a mostly happy ending. I wish I could give each one of you a big hug.

I hope you're feeling better this morning! That sounds like no fun at all. Although like everyone else, I'm curious to someday hear the saga.

We've had to deal with Poison Control twice -- once when M ingested some Purell at eighteen months, once just last week when Q got a double dose of methylphenidate. They were calm and calming both times.

Funny timing - we called them last night. My first time. The nurse was audibly delighted that I supplied N's age, weight, estimated amount of ingested material, and what N did after ingestion (threw up). Ahh, the advantages of having a pharmacist for a grandparent.

They called back today to see how N was doing. I think we'll have to add them to our list of annual charitable donations.
