Note some of these aren’t meds. Kids rely on us to put safety measures in place to keep them safe.

Look in your own house and help remind those who also have kids in their house to secure potential poisons.

Blood pressure medications, dietary supplements, acetaminophen, bleach and antidepressants are the five products most involved in unintentional pediatric poisonings.

It's National Poison Prevention Week. Keep poisons locked up out of reach of kids.
A table with a statue of a pug and a medicine bottle full of pills and a stick of dynamite. The dynamite is lit - literally. The pug, Randall, says much too calmly, "yikes." The text reads: Open medicine is deadly. Keep medications safely stored in a locked cabinet or box and out of the reach of children. Keep medicines in their original child-resistant containers and never in unsecured containers. Properly discard unfinished or unused medicines.

Power outage? Your fridge is only safe for 4 hours.
Keep doors closed, use ice, and when in doubt—throw it out. ⚠️

🚫 MYTH: Natural cleaning products are non-toxic.
✅ FACT: “Natural” doesn’t always mean safe. Many plant-based cleaners can still irritate skin, eyes, or lungs — and be harmful if swallowed.

Heads up, pet owners! OTC human meds top the list for pet poisoning incidents. Store them safely to protect your four-legged family. And know your emergency contacts if your pet ever ingests them. 🆘️🐕
