The prevalence of melatonin use by U.S. adults quintupled from 0.4% during 1999-2000 to 2.1% during 2017-2018 (1).This rise coincided with a 530% increase in poison center calls for pediatric melatonin exposures during 2012-2021 and a 420% increase in emergency department (ED) visits for unsupervised melatonin ingestion by infants and young children during 2009-2020 (2,3).CDC analyzed public health surveillance data to describe circumstances involved in these ingestions to help guide development of interventions.* https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/data-sources-andmethods/data-sources/national-electronic-injury-surveillance-systemcooperative-adverse-drug-event-surveillance-project-neiss-cades
