Poisoning - Prevention
To make your home safe from poisoning, examine it carefully one room at a time. Identify any potentially harmful substances and either lock them away or store them somewhere out of your children's reach. Move all detergents, creams and lotions to a locked cabinet where children cannot see or reach them. Buy products with childproof lids wherever possible - but lock them away nonetheless. Never pour chemicals or detergents into empty soft drink or water bottles. Children may think the bottles still contain the original liquid. Always lock cabinets containing wine and spirits. Find out from a pharmacist or your health care provider which household plants are poisonous and avoid them. Keeping them out of reach may not be enough because leaves may fall to the floor. Do not leave young children unattended.
