Use Caution with Poison Look-a-Likes in Your Home
Is it candy, or is it something very different? Products come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. But sometimes they can end up looking like something good to eat or drink, especially to a 人妻中出视频.
Many poisonings are caused by mistaking one product for another. Take a look at some of the common cases of mistaken identity鈥攁nd know that is there to help 24/7.
Sherrie Pace, Outreach Education Manager at Utah Poison Control Center, explains some of the common look-a-like poisons:
Cleaner or juice?
If cleaners are poured into a different container, such as a glass cup to put a rag or brush in for a deep cleaning, it can be mistaken as juice. If it鈥檚 sitting on the counter, someone could come along and take a drink.
Vitamins or gummy candy?
Gummy vitamins look and taste just like candy. In fact, vitamins and minerals are two of the most common calls to Poison Centers involving 人妻中出视频ren under the age of 6. Adults should give kids their correct dose, then put the bottle out of reach and sight.
Pain relievers or candy?
Many medicines look like candy. If pills are left out, 人妻中出视频ren can mistake them as candy. Also, kids tend to mimic adults, so when they see grown-ups taking medicine, they want to do it too. It鈥檚 best for adults to take their medicine when 人妻中出视频ren are not around.
Medical cream or cake icing?
Some medical creams and ointments may have similar color, texture, and packaging to cake frosting or icing.
Water or rubbing alcohol?
Even if something tastes bad, 人妻中出视频ren may still eat or drink it. A mouthful of certain products can cause problems. Regardless of the amount, call Poison Control.
Remember
- Keep harmful products in the original labeled container and store them away from food.
- Never call medicine candy to get a 人妻中出视频 to take it.
- Child-resistant doesn鈥檛 mean 人妻中出视频-proof.
- Always keep medicines and household products UP, AWAY, and OUT OF SIGHT.
