AI tells a user to call 911 for a suspected poisoning, but the US Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) is the correct first contact for non-life-threatening cases
ID: emergency/911-usa-poison-control
根因分析
AI默认为所有紧急情况拨打911，但对于疑似中毒（包括用药错误、化学暴露），毒物控制中心提供专业的毒理学指导，可能避免不必要的医院就诊。
English
The AI defaults to 911 for all emergencies, but for suspected poisonings (including medication errors, chemical exposures), Poison Control provides specialized toxicology guidance and may prevent unnecessary hospital visits.
