• Buy medicines with childproof caps.

• Always keep thing in the bottles they came in. Do not put poisons in food jars or bottles.

• Store medicines and vitamins out of your child's reach.

• Store all cleaning products and other poisons in locked cabinets. Your child could eat them. Do not keep soap, cleaning products, or anything else under the kitchen or bathroom sink.

• If you have people over to your house, ask them if they have any medicines. Put their medicines out of your child's reach.

• Don't give your child someone else's medicine.

• Never tell children that medicine is candy.

• Read the label well before giving your child medicine. Many mistakes happen at night. Turn the ligt on and take a good look at the label on the bottle.

• Never mix cleaning products together like bleach and ammonia. It can give off a poison gas that can make you very sick.

• Don't let your child peel off old paint and eat it. Your child can get lead poisoning.
