It's an as ouncnng ligure. Although he problem looms largest vith children, it is also the econd highest cause of iccidental deaths in the lome among adults 25 to 44 ears of age. There's so little logic for uch tragedy. The culprit s usually lack of foresight.

Then, if you know the poison taken? and the proper first-aid ?promptly start to help the victim. But ? best of all avoid the problem. Keep poisonous materials out of everyone's easy reach.
