S2E1 - Poison Prevention in Your Home

Today we’re going to talk about poison prevention, the things our kids put in their mouths that are more than just “icky” – the things that could actually harm them. What are those products and how can we reduce the chances of our children coming across them? I’m guessing that if I asked you to count on one hand the number of times you’ve had to intercept your child as they were about to put something “icky” into their mouth, you couldn’t do it. Young kids are so curious and they explore the world around them by taste!

Key takeaways:

Keep products that can be poisonous up high and locked. Children explore their environment by putting things in their mouths and don’t have the same “ick” reaction as an adult would.
Some products that can be poisonous are obvious, like medications, cleaning products, while others like mouthwash you might not think about. Visit Parachute’s website for information about what products to watch out for - parachute.ca/en/injury-topic/poisoning/.
Canada has a toll-free 24/7 number for poison centres. If you suspect a poisoning, call 1-844-POISON-X (1-844-764-7669). If you are located in Nunavut, contact your local health centre. If you are located in Québec, call 1-800-463-5060.
