Opioids leading cause of poisoning deaths in young children

From: MDEdge Oct 13

• "...2005 and 2018. During that time, 731 child poisoning deaths were reported to the system – of which nearly half (47%) involved opioids as the poisoning agent up from 24% in 2005 . More than 4 in 10 deaths (42%) involved children under age 1."

• "Most of the deaths (61%) occurred in the child’s home, and in even more cases (71%) the child was being supervised when the poisoning occurred, most often by a parent (58.5%). "

Speculation: Fewer opiate deaths in those having high levels of Vitamin D
