There are 250,000 products for use in the home which contain one form of poison or another. It is little wonder then, that 600,000 children manage to poison themselves each year. Of these about 500 die.

Cleaning and polishing agents, detergents, cosmetics, paint, turpentine, petroleum-based products, bleaches, plant foods, plaster, and thousands of similar items all may contain poison.

Many of these substances can be found in such places as die cabinet under the sink, the broom closet, the bedroom dresser, etc._places toddlers just love to explore. Medicines also are extremely dangerous, except in the correct dose for the person for whom they are specifically recommended. Too much of virtually any medicine can be poisonous. Aspirin, a virtual staple in every home, is the primary cause of poison deaths among children under five.

Don’t think that because something doesn’t taste good, a child won’t eat it. His inborn curiosity will lead him to sample almost anything, even if he 'has been warned not to touch.
