Show Notes
Kratom exposures surge by 1200% in poison control centers, with over 14,000 cases reported from 2015 to 2021. High-potency, lab-tweaked versions are linked to the increase, affecting all age groups and men more frequently. Despite its use for pain relief and mood enhancement, the FDA warns against it due to liver damage, seizures, and addiction risks. Kratom is banned in seven states, and Minnesota is considering stricter regulations. Poison centers play a crucial role in identifying trends, so stay informed about its effects.
