Review of 3,381 records from New Hampshire Poison Center for July through September 1981 and January through March 1982 revealed no seasonal difference in the total number of calls. A significant predominance in the summer reports was noted for plants, pesticides, envenomations, and acetaminophen exposures. During the winter a predominance was noted for aspirin, vitamins, cold and cough remedies, liniments, foods, and calls with no specific agent identified.
