Preventing poisoning is often quite easy. But people are sometimes not entirely careful, especially children. Most cases of child poisoning occur when adults are not around. Children are inquisitive by nature and can get to the thing that interests them at the same moment.
Many substances found in or around the home are toxic. Some household items and indoor plants contain toxic substances.
To prevent cases of poisoning, you should follow some general rules:
keep all medications, household supplies,
poisonous plants and other dangerous
substances away from children. Use cabinets with locks. Treat all household and medicinal products as potentially dangerous;
• never call medicine candy when yes
eat them to your child;
• store all products in their original packaging
forgings with the corresponding name. Never three
keep household items in food containers
nal foods or drinks.
Use special characters for
destructive substances, explain to children what they mean.
Unusable or expired food should be thrown away. At the same time, you need to be sure that children will not get them.
The use of potentially hazardous chemicals should be carried out in well-ventilated areas and only strictly according to the instructions.
In areas where ticks are common, wear light-colored clothing so that small insects or ticks can be seen more quickly. Wear a long-sleeved shirt and long pants. Tuck the ends of your pant legs into your socks or boots. Tuck your shirt into your pants. When hiking in a forest or field, try to follow the path. Avoid bushes or tall grass. When you return home, examine yourself carefully. Pay special attention to the hair part of the body.
Collect only those mushrooms that you know well and are sure are not poisonous.
Take mushrooms only with stems - this will help avoid encounters with toadstool.
Don't taste raw mushrooms.
Do not eat overripe, wormy or spoiled mushrooms.
Do not eat mushrooms from jars that are hermetically sealed at home to avoid the danger of botulism.
