More kids rushed to hospital after eating gummies https://t.co/oqRxStSvdz via @GMA

As you would imagine, with increased medical effects occurring we are also seeing increased healthcare utilization and cost.

Evaluation at a hospital for exposure (light blue line), admission to ICUs (red line) and acute care admission (yellow line) are also increasing.

My latest: 3x as many MN children under age six accidentally ingested edibles in 2022 compared to 2021. Dr. Cole of the @MNpoisoncenter said this is a serious issue, yet preventable.

Gospel: Jesus showed a deep desire to heal people. When a man with leprosy asks if he wants him to be healed, Jesus says, "I do will it" (Mk 1). God wants us to care for our bodies, which includes receiving medical care (and vaccines). It's part of reverencing what God created.
