This week, we focus on the theme: “When the unexpected happens, Poison Help is here for you.”
To keep our homes safe and protect our loved ones, here’s a Poison Prevention Home Checklist:
Store all medicines and chemicals out of reach of children and pets.
Keep products in their original containers with labels intact.
Use child-resistant packaging, but remember they are not child-proof!
Avoid taking medication in front of children to set a good example.
Dispose of unused or expired medications safely.
Educate family members about the dangers of poisons and how to respond in an emergency.
If the unexpected happens, remember that the Poison Center is just a phone call away. They provide fast, expert advice 24/7. Whether it’s a potential poisoning or questions about a substance, their team is equipped to help you navigate emergencies calmly and effectively.
Call the Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222 for immediate assistance!
Let’s work together to keep our community safe! Share this information to spread awareness.
