NEW YORK (ED) Every
child starts his life with the
see-me, feel-me, touch-me syn
drome. The most common-place
items can fascinate a child: a
pair of eyeglasses, a chain,
keys, and pills. Unfortunately,
far too many children get into

sults: accidental poisoning.
Accidental poisonings aver
age 600,000 a year in the one to
five age group, according to
U.S. Public Health Service fig
ures. As Dr. Milton Westphal,
director of the Buffalo Poison
Control Center, explains: “The
toddler has the ability to get
hold of things but he lacks the
judgment as to what he can or
cannot put in his mouth. It’s
surprising what horrible-tast
ing stuff he will swallow.”
Some of the items: ammonia,
detergents, diet pills, cough syr
up and aspirin. Aspirin usu
ally play a very minor part in,
accidental poisonings, except
ot y* 0 °
with children under four—even
then, it’s the 5-grain unfavored
ndult aspirin that leads to the
most serious trouble. But even
one accidental poisoning caused
by jm overdose of aspirin is one
too many. That’s why the mak
ers of St. Joseph Aspirin for
Children are now packaging its
aspirin in bottles with safety
caps on them. These safety clos
ures, made of plastic, make it
more difficult for toddlers to
open the bottles and get at the
tablets.
In addition to buying aspirin
that are packaged in safety
closures, follow these safety
rules
1
Keep all household chemicals
and medicines not only out ot
reach but out of sight and
under lock and key, if
possible.
2. Don’t tell children that med
icines are or taste like
candy or soft drinks.
3. Throw away all unmaikeii
drug and household supplies.
Keep items’ in original con
tainers.
4. Don’t let children play with
purse pill boxes and bottles,
cosmetics, etc.
5. Never give or take medicine
in the dark. Read all labels
carefully.
3. Post a First Aid Chart in
your medicine cabinet.
1. Keep the number of youi
doctor and pharmacist han
dy. They’ll know how to
reach the nearest Poison
Control Center quickly
If your child should swallow
a toxic substance, call a doctor
immediately. Dilute the poison
by giving him warm fluids to
induce vomiting. Use the anti
dote listed on the container of
poison or give the emergency
universal antidote ot: Crushed
burnt toast 2 tablespoons,
Strong tea 1 tablespoon,
Milk of Magnesia 1 table
spoon. Mix these ingredients in
Yz glass of water and give to
the child. Do not induce vomit
ing if the poison is a strong
acid, alkali, kerosene or gas
oline.
Accidental poisoning can be
prevented. But it is the re
sponsibility of every parent to
provide a safe environment for
the child. Let’s protect our
children from senseless acci
dents!
