How to prevent poisoning at home
A safe home is the desire of every father. A place where your son can live quietly, explore every corner without danger. But it is impossible to find a place to raise a child and that does not contain any risk to your health. Medications, cleaning products, possible allergens, furniture corners; all of them can play a trick on the little ones in the house.
While parents can not ensure a 100% safe environment for children, they can prevent all these dangers from reaching their children. An accident that happens more than the parents would like are the poisoning inside the home because of different products. But, if you know how, these risks will not hurt the children.
The danger of medicines
There is a product that is more dangerous than a priori may seem: medicines. It is often believed that poisoning They are caused by cleaning products, however medicines can cause children to suffer a severe accident. Parents consider that these items are quite safe because they already have sufficient security measures.
However, with enough time, children are able to obtain the medications from these boats. Either by finding a way to circumvent the opening systems or by breaking the container. For this reason you should always ensure that the child does not access the place where medicines are stored, for this nothing better than placing it in a high place and if possible allowing it to be saved locked.
Another way to prevent these accidents is that each time the child is given medicine, he or she should be warned that this is something only the elderly can use. There is a need to raise awareness about the need for children to be unable to use it because there is a great risk to their integrity. Nor should resort to methods such as calling the medicines "candy" to make your intake more bearable as this can cause confusion in them.
A lot of attention to the container
One of the most serious mistakes that can fall is to change a product packaging that is capable of intoxicating a child. An example is putting bleach inside a bottle of water or some medication in a different bottle. Keeping the same boat where this item is kept will make it more recognizable to the child, as well as to the parents before it can be provoked no accident.
In addition, containers can also prevent poisonings because their
labels can warn of the expiration of the product or of the presence of any allergen element that could compromise the Health of the child. Paying attention to these points will make the possible accidents derived from this intake far from the child.
