PREVENTING POISONING AT HOME
Believe it or not , you have certain poisons in your house;some are deadly, others are less harmful. Some carry special labels, others do not. If you tried to do without any poisonous substance, you would have to eliminate shoe polish, paints, mothballs, matches, ink, cough medicines, talcum powders, detergents, disinfectant, and many other items that you use every day. This means that you and your families must learn how to live with all these different poison and use them carefully and intelligently. I will enumerate 6 ways you can use to prevent Poisoning at home, some of this ways are;
Throw all old medicines away. keep new prescriptions always in their original containers.
Always read the label. carefully read the label before taking any medicine. If the writing on the label is not clear, do not take the medicine. Throw it away.
Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating. Dangerous substance may possibly have been sprayed over these foods to protect them from insects and other pests. Be sure such poisons are removed before you use these foods.
Insects sprays and bug bombs should be used only in a well ventilated room. Never inhale the fumes or sprays. Do not use these poisonous sprays around food or where food will later be prepared. Always leave the room as soon as you have finished spraying .
Never Keep poisons on the same shelf with your foods. You might take the poison by mistake. Keep all household medicines locked away well beyond the reach of the small children. House cleaning solutions, insecticides and rubbing alcohol should be safely stored where children cannot possibly reach them.
Training: When your children are four or five years old, tell them about the dangers of taking any pills they might find around the house. Also explain to them that leaves and berries from strange plants might be harmful. Make it a practice for them to take nothing except what you give them. If your child has confidence in you, he will usually accept your advice.
