Suicide by Poisoning Attempts Among Children Rise Sharply
There were 276 deaths among the self-poisoning attempts and 14,916 cases of “major effects,” which may include long-lasting symptoms.The two most common substances used in the suspected pediatric attempted suicide cases were the over-the-counter pain killers ibuprofen and acetaminophen, according to the study.
