March is Poison Prevention Month
March is poison prevention month. Here are a few tips to help you protect you children:
- Put the toll-free number Poison Help Number (1-800-222-1222) into your home and cell phones. You should also post it near your phone or on your refrigerator for the babysitter.
- Store poisonous items out of reach or use safety locks on cabinets within reach.
- Make sure that all medications, including vitamins and adult medicines, are stored out of reach and out of sight or children.
- Store all household products out of children’s sight and reach. Young kids are often eye-level with items under the kitchen and bathroom sinks. So any bleach, detergents, dishwasher liquid or cleaning solutions that are kept there should find a new storage location.
