United States
Ends: Mar 31, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Poison Prevention Awareness Month is one of two poison-related events in March. The second is Poison Prevention Week during the second half of the Month. The U.S. Poison Control Center notes, "A child is accidentally poisoned every 30 seconds! And more than 50 percent of all poisoning occurs at HOME in children under five years of age."
Thousands of children are poisoned yearly by everyday household products such as insect sprays, cleaners, paints, bleach, perfumes, and medicines. National Poison Prevention Month educates parents about the dangers of common household poisons and what they can do to keep their children safe.
The following are guidelines for parents from the National Poison Control Center:
What is poison? Information for Kids.
How can you get poisoned?
You can get poisoned by eating, drinking, touching, or smelling something that can make you sick or hurt. Some things, like medicine, can make you sick if you take the wrong kind or too much. Always ask a trusted grown-up before you take any medication. Never put anything in your mouth if you are unsure if it is safe to eat. Ask a grown-up first!
Where are poisons found?
Poison exists in every room in your home or outside, like some plants, berries, and mushrooms.
What can you do if someone gets poisoned?
If you think you got into a poison, tell a grown-up immediately! They will call the poison center, and the poison center will tell them how to help you. If you think your mom or dad, your brother or sister, or even your friend got into a poison, you can call the poison center too. Learn the poison center's phone number, 1-800-222-1222, and make sure you have the poison center number on or near your house's telephones.
How can you be prepared?
Ask your mom or dad to teach you what is dangerous and what is not. Sometimes poisons can be colorful or have exciting designs on the packaging. Avoid anything you aren't familiar with unless an adult says it's okay.
Encourage your family to have a plan in case someone gets poisoned. Like fire and tornado drills, a well-practiced plan of action can keep you and your family safe.
