An estimated 75,000 children under the age of five end up in the ER from poisoning. Some are fatal and most are preventable.
March is Poison Prevention Awareness Month. A poison is any substance that can cause harm or death, but not all poisons are obvious. Each year more than 2 million people are reported accidentally poisoned in the U.S.
Every year more than 2 million people in the U.S. report being poisoned by accident, and 75,000 children younger than 5 end up in the ER. The reason? Many of the most common hazards are in your home. Cleaning products often come in bright bottles that kids can’t help but notice. One, in particular, to lock up is laundry pods. Reports show that poison control centers receive one call every 42 minutes claiming a child has eaten one.
Remember to keep your pets safe, too. Some things you may not realize are poisonous to pets include diffusers with eucalyptus, cinnamon, and peppermint oils. The vapers can have significant health effects on your pets if inhaled. Pets can also get poisoned from inhaling secondhand marijuana smoke.
