Last night I was cleaning up our kitchen and eating area and came across a blue capsule. It must have fallen out of a pocket or not been taken with breakfast. A simple mistake that could prove harmful if swallowed by children or pets.
I gently lectured that we all have to be more careful.
I am, as I’m sure you can imagine, the most safety conscious person in our household. I make sure the doors and windows are locked at night. I make sure the stove is turned off and the stove knob safety covers are in place. I have a nose for when the oven or the iron are turned on.
No I do not have OCD, and yes I do check.
Turns out my story is timely. March 14-20, 2010 is National Poison Prevention Week.
The Centers for Disease Control have a good poison prevention webpage. You can find it here.
Put the poison control number, 1-800-222-1222, on or near every home telephone and save
it on your cell phone. The line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our Ready Home Gift Boxes include Poison Control, In Case of Emergency and 911 stickers.
I’ve been looking for this exact information on this subject for a long time. Bookmarked and recommended!
