OBS

L'expression «centre de traitement contre les empoisonnements» est une traduction lourde et fautive de «poison control center». En français, on ne traite pas contre quelque chose, mais on traite une maladie, une intoxication. L'expression consacrée pour traduire «poison control center» est centre antipoisons.
