What should I do immediately if I suspect someone has been poisoned?
To prevent poisoning in your home, especially with young children around, always store medications, cleaning products, and other hazardous substances in locked cabinets or out of reach. Use child-resistant packaging and keep products in their original, clearly labeled containers.
Avoid transferring toxic substances to unmarked or food containers. Be aware that some household plants can be toxic, so keep them out of children’s reach. Lastly, educate your children about the dangers of certain substances and supervise them closely to minimize the risk of accidental poisoning.
