Your memory matches mine.The thing about that is, from what I understand, most of that was misreported. The numbers of cases called into poison control were much lower than what was reported if I'm remembering correctly. The media is blowing this up as if every Trump supporter in the country is taking horse dewormer and being poisoned, when that is far from being true.
Still it does happen.
Media blows everything up, no matter what side of the isle they are on, their primary function is to make money, not inform.
