The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 500,000 children are treated emergently for acute poisonings with corrosives. Most of the children survive, but many experience permanent disability, psychological stress, or physical disfiguration. Unintentional poisonings happen most frequently between the ages of 1 and 6 years. Adolescents are more likely to injure themselves intentionally (ie, suicide). The home is the most common place where such poisonings occur and is where millions of children are exposed to corrosive products.
