For parents to keep our children safe is a priority in progress. But even with the best intentions, you neglected some potentially harmful toxins in the budget. According to the National Academy of Poison Control Center, 92 percent of all poison exposures occur at home, and 52 percent of poison exposures occur in children under 6.
The following is a list of the most common poisons among children. Follow them and make sure that these terms are sure of yourChild's hand.
1. Cosmetics and body care
Cosmetics containing chemicals, some of which are toxic to adults, but because children are smaller, and their metabolism is faster, a small amount of chemical or toxin can cause a serious reaction.
Most poisonings occur when children are not too close, as when parents are busy, dinner or reception seen by friends. Keep all cosmetics and care products in cabinets that children do notreach or are locked with child-resistant closures.
This includes everything from shampoo, shaving cream and toothpaste (fluoride in a tube of toothpaste can be harmful if ingested by young children) of mascara, lipsticks and perfumes. Although I do not think it's dangerous to play safe and keep it stored safely.
2. Detergent
This is a bit 'more obvious: cleaning products are ripe with caustic detergents, chemicals and toxic waste.If a child clean smoke or inhale quite a task in the mouth, cleaning agent residues, the effects can be deadly.
Many cleaners contain corrosives that can burn skin on contact, and other products, like antifreeze, taste sweet, so a child does not know that could be dangerous to drink. And the bright colors exactly attractive to a child-friendly as Windex blue Kool-Aid provides, for example.
As for the cosmetics and personal care, cleaning products accessible from theReach of children. You can also stop them, if you wiped your home with Terry and PerfectClean wipes, whose ultra-microfiber construction allows clothing, mops and feather dusters to reach in microscopic cracks thoroughly clean opt (No other cleaning tool is approaching !) and remove all in their path: all forms of dirt, dust, hair, skin flakes and biological contaminants too small to see with the naked eye without the need for cleaning chemicals!
PerfectCleanThe products are 100% secure, and should be used dry or moistened with water, which is ideal for homes with small children, where the poisoning is a major concern.
3. Pain Medicine / fever reducers
One study showed that up to 40 percent of cases of poisoning occurred pediatric budget, while a parent with the product. Painkiller (or other drugs) are like candy to a child care, but their development process, but not the body, the adult-size doses of medication and the processvery different from an adult.
For this reason, there is never a good idea to encourage your child to tell a drug that will take it "knows of candy."
If you take a medication, always be sure you only take your calls and then the rest in a safe place. The medicine cabinet is one of the worst places, because children can rise slightly to open it over the sink and the door.
And do not rely on child-resistant containers. Studies have shown that childrenalways open if you get enough time.
Over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers can also be dangerous. Do not give your child any medication, even OTC unless expressly approved and safe for children.
4. Coins and thermometer
These objects present a choking hazard for young children that is often made of small objects in his mouth, immediately after the discovery have left on the floor or counter.
Swallowing a coin is bigger than a penny, an X-rayIt is usually necessary to ensure that it has gone through the esophagus.
The thermometers are another risk for mercury when broken. Mercury can emit a poisonous gas and harmful if swallowed, so be sure to remove any broken glass thermometer accurately and safely.
5. Plants
The children find irresistible to the bright colors and different textures of plants, but some plants can be toxic to touch or eat. If you are unsure whether aPlant is poisonous, do not keep at home. The risk was not worth it.
You can list the following range of plants that should not be kept away point at families with children. The list is not complete, so be sure to look for information security to make sure that the plants in your home.

Sixth Diaper Care, acne preparations, antiseptics
The children can aspire to a tube of diaper cream or acne medication. These accidents typically occur because the conditions were from the vicinity of the reach of a child on the left.
Some recent products, such as those containing methyl salicylate (oilWintergreen) ingesting1 spoons some of the strengths of methyl salicylate can be equal to more than 20 aspirin tablets for adults, camphor oil, mint oil, eucalyptus essential oils and other concentrates can be highly toxic to young children.
As with other domestic questionable creams and ointments to keep all preparations, even those who use the cream for your child such as diapers, in an out-of-reach, locked or mobile home, baby.
7. Cough andCold preparations
Antihistamines cough suppressants,, expectorants and decongestants are often like a sweet taste and can be accidentally ingested by children. Keep them, along with other medications in a locked cupboard.
In giving the child cough or cold medicines, be sure that you are given the right dosage and some other adults, not the child. If used correctly it can cough and cold medicines cause drowsiness or agitation, and in high doses may effectBlood pressure and heart rate.
8. Pesticides
domestic pesticides such as rat and cockroach bait traps must be kept in rooms where children and the children (and pets) are not allowed.
According to Dr. Mark McDonald, a pediatric intensive care at Palmetto Health Children's Hospital, pesticides can quickly kill a child. Do not pour pesticides into another container, he added, citing one case, made in one of the parents to plant food from a neighbor soda bottle plastic.The parents of a child took a drink from the bottle in the garage, and although it fell to the emergency room, was brain dead in 17 hours.
9. Vitamins
Believe it or not, vitamins are a common source of poisoning for children. The pills can, in turn, look like candy, and the doses and concentrations of nutrients and vitamins, a child can overwhelm the system.
Treat all vitamins and minerals as drugs and keep them from reaching your baby. And never give your child vitaminsdesigned for adults.
10. Gastrointestinal preparations
boxes or small sips of these preparations, if poisoned, perhaps reassuring for adults, one child. These are another category of family that is always in a safe place that the child can not enter, and should be used immediately (not in a bank in which the child can entice him from the left) should be maintained.
