FARGO, N.D. — A 1-year-old Minnesota boy who was poisoned when he bit into a Tide detergent pod is out of the pediatric intensive care unit at a North Dakota hospital.

Alexander Rhode from Hitterdal was flown to Sanford’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Fargo more than a week ago.

Donations to help with the mounting medical bills can go to any Gate City Bank location.

Family members say he thought the pod was a treat.
