The home is a common site for accidental poisonings, particularly among children and pets. To prevent such incidents, it's important to:
Childproof your home by keeping chemicals, medications, and cleaning products out of reach. Use safety locks on cabinets and drawers containing potentially hazardous substances. Ensure that all products are in their original containers with labels intact. Dispose of unused or expired medications properly, following local guidelines or pharmacy take-back programs. Educate family members about the dangers of mixing chemicals such as bleach and ammonia.
