Calls turned into cases at NYC poison control

According to NYC Poison Control, there are 30 overall cases of people exposed to household cleaners after Trump commented on disinfectants. The same time last year, there were 13 cases. None of the 30 cases resulted in hospitalization or deaths.
NYC Mayor aimed to bring back injection centers for drug users after setback last year. At the same time, poison control reported 886 cases of drug overdoses in NYC the same time 30 for household cleaners. The city's health dept has not disclosed details on the overdose due to focus on COVID-19.
The mayor won't comment on the cases comparison.
BUT there is a hidden number. The city spend around $300 million on drugs program annually for education, preventing overdose and etc. The budget is expected to rise for next year.

Each case for poison control is a call from an individual over fears they did do something such as drugs, ingested household cleaners, etc but not reported the result at the end. Again, just calls and then paper works.
