Cosmetics, hair spray, pesticides, perfume, art supplies, mouthwash and alcohol can all be toxic. Keep toxic products in original containers so they can't be mistaken for something harmless. Always request child-resistant lids when having prescriptions filled. Never describe medicine as candy or food. Avoid taking medications in front of children.
Kids tend to mimic adult actions.
Throw away old medications on a regular basis by flushing them down the toilet. Place poisonous plants out of a child's reach. Test children for lead exposure and test homes built before 1978 for lead-based paint. Frequently wash children's hands and faces as well as toys and pacifiers to reduce the risk of ingesting lead-contaminated dust. Install carbon monoxide detectors in the home.
