It is not uncommon for adults to become victims of an unintentional poisoning. Follow the tips below and prevent needless poisonings.
| | Keep potential poisons in their original containers. DO NOT use food containers such as cups or bottles to store household and chemical products. |
| | Store food and household and chemical products in separate areas. Mistaken identity could cause a serious poisoning. |
| | Read and follow the directions and caution labels on household and chemical products before using them. |
| | Never mix household and chemical products together. A poisonous gas may be created when mixing chemicals. |
| | Turn on fans and open windows when using household and chemical products. |
| | When spraying household and chemical products, make sure the spray nozzle is directed away from your face and other people. Wear protective clothing--long sleeve shirts, long pants, socks, shoes and gloves--when spraying pesticides and other chemicals. |
| | Pesticides can be absorbed through the skin and can be extremely poisonous. Stay away from areas that have recently been sprayed. |
| | Never sniff containers to discover what is inside. |
| | Discard old or outdated household and chemical products. |
| | First aid instructions on product containers may be incorrect or outdated. Call your local Poison Control Center or doctor if an exposure occurs. |
| | Keep the telephone number of your local Poison Control Center on or near your telephone. |
