According to Fox 5 in Atlanta, The Georgia Poison Control Center reports button battery injestion cases are up 15-percent from last year, when they had nearly 60 cases, most of which were children. However, sometimes adults, especially the elderly have mistaken the pill sized batteries for medicine, as well.
