An emergency medical physician is urging Iowa parents who have small kids living in their homes to avoid buying any sort of health-related gummies. Dr. Benjamin Orozco (or-OHS-co), a medical toxicologist with Emplify Health by Gundersen, says kids get curious and they love candy, and if gummies are in the house, there’s a chance your child could end up seriously ill — or worse — if they find the bottle. Orozco says any supplements, whether it’s gummy vitamins, melatonin, recreational marijuana in gummy form, it’s all very high risk if its eaten by children. If your child is discovered feeling woozy with the container nearby, you’d better make a fast call to the Iowa Poison Control Center: 1-800-222-1222.
