Poison Safety
According to the CDC, over 300 children in the U.S. ages 0 to 19 are treated every day in an emergency department, and two children die, due to being poisoned. Common items found in every home, such as household cleaners and medications, can be poisonous, especially to children. Lessons can include basic information on poisons and first aid treatments for various types of poisoning, and how to contact poison control centers & report a poisoning.
