Poisoning ur home is really bad. Exposures of all poisonings are in children between the ages of 1 and 4. Guildelines of poisoning preventation in the home.
- Install safety locks/childproof latches on all cabinets to restrict access to children.
- Store potential poisons including detergents, medications, cosmetics and perfumes, and chemical products out of reach and out of sight of children inside the house as well as in the garage or shed.
- Store potential poisons in their original containers. Do not transfer them to food containers like milk jugs or coffee cans.
- Keep food and potential poisons separate; store them in different cabinets. Children can mistake the identity of products that look alike to them.
- Return all products to storage immediately after use. Keep the products and your children in sight during use.
- Safely discard into a sealed, outdoor trash receptacle all household products and medications that are old or aren't used regularly.
- Never mix products; dangerous fumes could result.
- Make sure medications are in child-resistant containers. Vitamins and supplements also should be out of reach of children. Remember that child-resistant is not child-proof.
- Keep indoor plants out of reach; some may be poisonous.
- Stay away from areas that have been sprayed recently with pesticides or fertilizer.
