Keep POISONS in a locked storage space and out of the reach of children.
A poison is any substance-solid, liquid, or gas-that causes injury or death when introduced into the body. There are four (4) main ways a person can be poisoned:
Inhaling
Get the victim into fresh air. Call 911. If the child is not breathing, start CPR and continue until help arrives.
Absorbing
Gently brush off dry material. Remove contaminated clothing. Wear rubber gloves if possible. Wash skin with large quantities of soap and water
Injecting
Swallowing
Any non-food substance is a potential poison
Remember 911 will put you through to dispatch and they can help you until help arrives.
