This week is Poison Prevention Week!
Have you ever really sat down and thought about how much poison is in your house? I know many of you are parents so this is your yearly reminder to stop and think about how safe your kids and home are. We all know there are obvious poisons that we must protect children from such as bleach, paint, and automotive products, but there are many more that children do not realize even exist. So many medicines, cleaners, and other products resemble things children love to eat, but are actually poison.
One of the shocking examples are gummy vitamins. I used to love eating these as a kid, they look and taste just like candy. However, children can get sick from eating too many.
Windex is another dangerous poison. Windex sitting next to blue Gatorade can look tempting to your children. But (hopefully you know already), Windex is not meant to be consumed. Viactiv vitamins also fall into this category. While they look like chocolate, Viactiv would harm children if they ate as little as ten of them.
These are all great products, but do present a risk to children who aren’t educated about them. The best thing to do is to educate your children on what is food and what can be poisonous.
Mr. Yuk stickers come in handy when dealing with this. You can put the Mr. Yuk sticker on things that are harmful to your children. You can teach them what the sticker means and to never eat or mess with items that have the sticker on it.You can get Mr. Yuk stickers and other free materials from the Poison Prevention website. Lastly, children should know if they are ever unsure about whether or not they can eat something, they need to ask an adult. Just by them knowing to ask, a lot of problems can be adverted.
Accidents may still happen though and children may consume poison, but there is help available. Poison Prevention offers great services that are FREE. We all have access to a center and many of you even have a center in your local area.
Many of the calls that they get each week are about children under the age of 6, more than 80% of the callers are given excellent advice and they do not have to go in for further medical treatment.
The Palmetto Poison Center is teaming up with Southern Savers this week to try to increase awareness. Many centers provide:
- Treatment advice for poison related emergencies/information to the public and health care professionals 24 hours a day, free of charge.
- Free public education programs throughout the state (really to anyone that will listen)
- Public service announcements on poisoning related topics to media on an as-needed-basis (Holiday hazards, poisoning trends, etc..)
- A website where our citizens can order free materials like Mr. Yuk stickers, coloring books, magnets, etc…
The Palmetto Poison Center wants to increase the number of folks that they are helping and educating. So… head over to their Facebook page and become a fan. From their Facebook page, they release stories, safety tips, and announcements. It is a great way to keep up-to-date on your poison awareness!

Bug spray is a dangerous poison in our house.
In our home, I think the most dangerous poison would have to the bathroom cleaners under the sink. Our 8 month old can crawl now, so I'm relocating all toxic cleaners to an upper cabinet out of her reach.
non green house cleaners non botanical bugsprays
i liked palmetto posion center
prenatal vitamins…..LOTS of iron in them!
Hmmmm….I'd have to agree with the windex since it looks like such a fun drink for the kiddos
And I now “like” palmetto poison center on fb! C'mon $50 gift card! :-)
Any cleaning product is a potential poison for anyone! I have moved all of mine up to a high cupboard in the garage to keep my grandchildren safe while in my home.
Hmm.. the most dangerous poison around me is probably bug killer in the garage.
Dairy for my little girl…she's allergic.
The most dangerous poisen is the everyday cleaners that we use. I am sure once we have a child we will take better precautions at placing them higher and putting child-safe locks on the doors. Maybe even getting non-toxic cleaners.
Liked the poison center fb page
Air freshners and sprays left all over homes.

I am guessing that the cleaning products in my house are the most dangerous. I feel that are safely locked up and out of reach. We are teaching our daughter about the dangers in those things. Great giveaway!
Bug spray is the most dangerous we have, It can not only be ingested but they can also spray it in their eyes and do a lot of damage.
I just became a fan of Palmetto Poision Center on FB!!

I would say the wasp/ant spray.

You know that gel-like, pretty sparkly stuff that they sell now to go in plants? My grandmother has it around her house in clear glass vases…and all the little ones are so drawn to it, because of it's color and gel-like look…I'm always so afraid they'll eat it!
I think that alot of the things that my husband uses in the garage are very dangerous for children…antifreeze, paint thinner, etc…..
I think the most dangerous poison in my house is either bleach or the mold and mildew spray…!
I now like Palmetto Poison Center, too
The most dangerous poison in our home right now are the ant killer granules and liquids that are in the laundry room until the weekend when the husband plans to treat the yard.
cleaning products, especially those containing bleach

The most dangerous might be what looks enticing to my three year old, medicine that resembles candy. Espcecially the kind that easily punches out of the foil like sudafed. Not all medicines have the extra wrapper behind it.
The most dangerous around here is our cleaners….they are under sinks now, but when the kids were younger they were up high in a closet.
The most dangerous posion around me in the ant spray we have to use this time of the year!
I would think my bathroom cleaners would be the most harmful or my insect sprays for bees. I have all my mr. yucky stickers on my harmful chemicals around the house.
For me it is the kids vitamins. They know they are good for them but only in moderation & trying to get a 4 yr old to understand is quite a task!
I am a fan of Palmetto Poision Center on facebook!
I think batteries would have the most poison in our house…besides all the cleaners, and I know that coins are very dangerous if ingested too!
The thing that scares me the most is hand sanitizer. I see women coating their kids in this and then kids are always putting hands in the mouth. The ones that are fruit scented may make kids want to taste it…VERY SCARY. I teach my kids good ol soap and water!
I think the most dangerous poison around homes are things like vitamins and medicine that look like candy to children.
Most dangerous poison? Probably some of the pesticides in the garage.
Ugh, Lysol. People use it like it is water and just the smell of it gives me a headache.

Cleaning supplies and bug sprays. I do try to use vinegar in my cleaning as much as possible but there are still the few cleaning supplies around that are harmful.
medicine
The most dangerous to me is some of the medicines that have a sweet coating that almost taste like candy…a perfect example of this is Advil.
Most dangerous… a lot of the chemicals used to clean bathrooms. Drano probably would be the worst.
Definitely kitchen cleaner! wilsonsj@musc.edu
I think the most dangerous poison is bleach

Also I think the most dangerous poison in our house is probably batteries–as our twins are still at an age where they try to put EVERYTHING in their mouth.
I am thinking straight bleach. we had a bleach tablet in our toilet tank at one point in time and our cat drank from the toilet and almost died. :-(
wow, never thought about that…don't have a cat, but have a “guest” dog come to visit will have to remember that one….thanks
I like Pamletto Poison Center on FB.
I'd say bleach is the most dangerous for sure!
Most dangerous poison, probably bleach.
The most dangerous poisons at our home are outside. When I was growing up my sister sampled to plants from outside. One was little red polk berries from a bush and one was mushrooms that were growing wild outside. Kids don't realize you can't just eat anything that looks like a fruit or vegetable.
I “liked” Palmetto Poison on FB!
Draino scares me to death!
The most dangerous poison around you is carelessness. One small over-looked thing could be the next thing you have to call about.
I think my bathroom cleaners are more dangerous than I want to believe
I think the Dust-Off near our computer is the most dangerous.
I like Palmetto Poison on facebook
Bug spray or bleach in our house, like Palmetto on FB
I would say Bleach is most dangerous poison around the house.
I'd have to go with bleach or toilet bowl cleaner as being pretty toxic!
I believe one of our most dangerous cleaners is “The Works” toilet bowl cleaner.
medicine. Since my daughter has allergies, she takes it everyday and probably doesn't realize the dangers they possess.
I think that the most dangerous poison around my house is the medicines that look like candies- it is amazing how they can look like smarties or any other “pale” candy.
most dangerous poison is the air my kids breath in when we have to pass some smoker smoking in front of a door I have to pass though. Even if the smoker isn't there anymore, the smell is.
I think maybe some of the gummy vitamins bc they think they are candy.
I “liked” Palmetto Poison Center
I would think any of the cleaners or the bleach would be the worst poison in our household.
Bathroom cleaners and kitchen disinfectant
I liked your page..
Just a few dangerous household products below,
antifreeze, windshield washer solutions, drain cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, insecticides,
artificial nail removers, medicines, detergents
automatic dishwasher detergents, furniture polish, perfume & aftershave, mouthwash
gasoline, kerosene, and lamp oil, paint and paint thinner, mothballs, miniature batteries, flaking paint,
cigarettes, rat and mouse poison and on and on…
I think too much of any household cleaners could prove deadly. I agree the most likely to be consumed in dangerous quantities are those items ones that taste good, like the gummie vitamins.
I just realized how poison Windex was…thanks for the info…

We don't use much as for as chemicals in cleaning products, but I do keep Draino on hand. So, I guess for us that'd be it.

Also, iron supplements are dangerous if consumed by children. I took them when I was pregnant with my second child.
the bleach on my laundry room floor
I would probably have to say the most dangerous thing around us in forgetting to put cleaning supplys or medicines away properly. We get to wrapped up in “nothings gonna happen” saying and leave things to were our children or others can get into them!
i like palmetto poision center on facebook
We learned the hard way that medicines, even children's vitamins with iron, can be very dangerous and poisons around the home. Glad to say, thanks to some ipecac all worked out well!
Items such as fingernail polish remover or rubbing alcohol, which are clear and usually under bathroom sinks can be very dangerous to curious children. I love the idea of the stickers!
I am a FB Fan!!!
Bug sprays and house cleaners
Clorox bleach is the most dangerous poison in my home.
I would say the 2 yrs of gummy vitamins I got for free from Wags a few weeks ago!
I “liked” Palametto Poision Center on Facebook
Bug killer and Sink cleaners are the worst.
My children are older now, but we have 2 dogs. I worry about them eating cigarette butts, the nicotine can kill them.
My medicane cabinet. We have so many partially used perscriptions that could really harm our children if they were ever to get in it.
There are so many poisons in our house, that it is just ridiculous. I would say the worst would have to be cleaning products. I have done quite a bit of research on the effects of cleaning products and it is just scary…Not to mention that most of this research was regarding it touching your skin or being breathed in. I couldn't imagine what these things could do if ingested. I actually switched our whole household to Norwex products, which are cloths infused with silver to kill germs and bacteria, and clean as well as chemical poisonous cleaning products with just water. In fact, I love it so much, I sell it! I'm just trying to eliminate as many hazardous chemicals that we have all been using for years, but can have devastating effects, from my household.
I have done my best to help eliminate as many chemicals in my house as possible, but the number 1 thing I have to say that is in the house is probably my mule team borax that I use to make laundry detergent with.

Clorox bleach is probably the most dangerous poison in my house.
Chemical wipes, like clorox wipes and lysol wipes, are dangerous. If the kids see the wipes they may mistake them with their wet wipes which could be dangerous. My kids have been very self-sufficient from a young age, always wanting to help or do things themselves. I have had to make sure they know never to touch those wipes and I try to keep them out of their reach. (However, others may not keep them out of reach and children can climb and get into child proof areas)
Lotsa poisons on our foods! Also, I'm not so sure that microwaving plastic (or anything) is too good.
Bug Spray and Bleach, even though the bottle top is supposed to be child proof.
Bug killer for sure
most dangerous poison? probably bleach or raid

I would have to say my bleach

Shampoo and bubble bath for the little people in my home-
liking it . Mr.Yuck is a great idea!!
I did like this on facebook, and I also wanted to add that there are many common poisons around us in her homes. Things like anti-depressants, cold medicines, cleaning supplies, but even things like watch batteries can be deadly. I heard of a story where a little boy swallowed a watch battery that nearly killed him. So scary! Be careful and put those posions up where they can't be reached. I need to do the same!
Also, Child proof is not necessarily child proof! My kid is proof of that. Also, the expensive perfumes are dangerous. My sister drank a bottle about 16 yrs ago. Childrens medications are also a hazard. I had gotten into them when I was a baby (lucky to be alive)
Liked Palmetto Poison Center on FB.
cleaning chemicals (e.g. bleach, windex, wipes, pledge, etc.). Because of this we store all of our chemicals way above where any child could get to them.
I remember eating almost a whole bottle of baby aspirin when I was little…and a whole box of my mother's diet Ayds, a chewy chocolate diet pill popular in the '70s. Beware and prepare for kids that climb…and like candy!
i like palmetto poison center on facebook
I've 'liked' the ppc
Since my 5-year-old figured out how to open 'child proof' tops…just about anything is a potential poison at my house!
I think the most poisonous thing in our house is the materials my husband keeps in the garage and shed for his work. He does flooring.
I would say anything in the medicine cabinet and also my cleaning supplies.
Any kids meds! They used to taste bad when I was little….and I don't think that was a bad thing. I definitely woudn't EVER want to drink it if I didn't have to, so mom never had to worry. Now that everything tastes like bubblegum, little ones want to bottoms-up. Always makes me wonder that after a dose of meds my little guy says 'mmmm' and does the sign for 'more.' Disconcerting.
My Comet is most dangerous! It looks just like sprinkle parmesan cheese to kids!
I would think bleach is the most potent and dangerous
I liked Palmetto Poison Center on Facebook!
I think bleach would be the most poison product in my home right now..it would take very little to do major damage to a child.
Any of the cleaners and bug killers under my sink.
When I was younger, my brothers and I used to climb on top of the counter to get to the top cabinet where the Asper-gum was kept. We ate it like candy! And nowadays, you don't even dare give aspirin to children. :0

I'm nervous about those silica gel packs that come in everything.
I think the most dangerous poison is medications. We have to make the medicines sound yummy to get them to take them and they are adding all sorts of flavors to make them taste better. My son LOVES the taste of ampilcillin and it scares me to death!
Bleach is probably the most dangerous cleaner in my house….I do have Mr. Yuck stickers on the inside of my kitchen cabinets where I store cleaning supplies!

Perfume (kids see you put it all over you), Toothpaste with fluoride (kids see you put it in your mouth and they are taught to use the non-fluoride kind), and Anti-bacterial gels (you use them on your kids)…all of these things are used regularly, can easily poison a child in larger quantities, and are usually readily accessible.
Bathroom cleaners are probably the most poisonous in our house…I always keep them locked up.

I think the worst poison I have is weed killer in the garage.
My children are not tiny anymore, but I still feel concerned about exposure to toxic chemicals. The biggest culprits in my home are nail polish remover and bug spray(kept in garage).
I feel like the biggest concern in my house is ant and roach killers.

We have a stock of the Gummie Vitamins. These can easily be mistaken for the candy, so we lock them in the medicine cabinet.

I remember back in elementary school, my teacher had us put a “Mr.Yuk” sticker on something poisonous around our house. I put it on the “Goo Gone”, believe it or not, many years later, the sticker is still on there!!!
I think that by far the most dangerous poison around us is household cleaners. We use them so much and some of the bottles and liquids inside are very pretty. Please keep them out of reach of children.
Pool Chemicals…Pool Shock
Holly berries. My daughter thinks they are real berries.
Would say that the most dangorous poison in our home is household cleaners.
the most dangerous poison is toothpaste….yes toothpaste…for kids they make it taste sooo sweet, yet it has flouride which is a carcinogen (can cause cancer). categorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a toxic drug; is listed as being “more poisonous than lead and slightly less poisonous than arsenic” (Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products). it also says harmful if swallowed, yet statistics show we swallow an average of 1 tube a year just by brushing our teeth!
it has other harmful ingredients too like
FD&C Blue 1: carcinogen; neurotoxin; derived from coal tar; linked to allergies and hyperactivity disorders.
AND
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: carcinogen; developmental/reproductive toxicity; neurotoxin; endocrine disruption; skin and eye irritant; in toothpaste may cause canker sores.
i get my toothpaste through The Birdhouse Boutique
their website is under construction, but i've been to their home shows, so you can e-mail them if you want more info TheBirdhouseBoutique@gmail.com

Pesticides, I think, are the most dangerous because we spray them in the yard and forget about them. Then our kids are picking up things from the yard and putting them in their mouths.
probably our household cleaners…I have gotten more all natural ones but still need to be careful with my 3 kiddos.
I definitely think household cleaners are a danger!

Arsenic pebbles for poisoning mice! My two year old actually found these beneath our oven (I can't explain why he was digging around *under* our oven, except that he was two years old…) and started eating them. I caught him right away and he didn't eat very many but his mouth was blue from the dye. I called my pediatrician and the poison control center and both said to keep on eye on him. Had he eaten enough he could have caused internal bleeding. Thankfully he only at a couple. I've learned my lesson though! No more rat poison within reach of kids – even if it is buried under the oven! Yikes!
I believe Bleach is the most dangerous poison around in the house, and ant bait for the outside!
I think bleach is the most harmful poison we have at our house.
I have some dishwasher detergent in little blue pouches. They look a lot like certain types of candy and the bright blue color looks quite tasty. Fortunately it probably tastes disgusting so there is little risk of eating too much of it, but it is definitely potent enough to do damage with just one.
Meds and vitamins are probably the most likely poisons for child could get into. We try to keep them out of reach but I can see how easily poisoning could happen.
I LIKEed Palmetto Poision Center.
I think that windex might be the worse one to have around, (although I do). It resembles their drink color and kids love the spray bottle. I knew of a kid who spray it in his mouth. I try to keep all of my cleaning items out of reach for children.
But…….mouthwash is bad too. The kids see us use it so they don't understand the danger, but to swallow it can be harmful. I remind my kids of this often.
Vitamins are our biggest poison. My son already ate a handful of them once because he liked them, but luckily, he threw them up.
Weed spray outside!!!!!
I “Liked” them on FB too :)
Ours is probably fire ant killer .
I guess bleach or maybe spray paint in cans…..

The most poisonous thing in our house is probably bathroom cleaners . Our children are getting older and helping around the house and were not aware that mixing cleaning chemicals could be toxic,especially toilet cleaners with bleach and other products. I have even had to educate some adults on this,
i would have to say my berry flavored tums. i did not no my child [13] was allergic to the berry flavor very scary when see broke out!
I think bleach and other caustic Chemicals are the worst because they can cause physical damage and burns on the way down :0(
Probably vitamins are our most dangerous poison. I knew it was bad for them to eat a lot, but never really considered them poison. Thanks for the helpful info!
I think bleach is the most dangerous!
I would say bathroom cleaners and our bug spray that we spray on the outside of our home.
Draino. Our drain gets clogged so we always keep some around, but it's scary to know what could happen if the wrong person/pet got into it.
The worst poison we have is probably drano- I usually try to use natural cleaners like babyganics, greenworks or shaklee… but our bathroom sink often requires heavy duty stuff & it looks fun because there's two colors that mix and then foam.
I Liked Palmatto Poison Center on facebook
I would have to say all of the cleaning products that are down on the legal a child could reach them. It's very important to teach our kids what's bad for them and what is good for them. We should Seth stickers and also take extra caution to put child locks on any thing the lids could get into to hurt them.
I understand that drain cleaners are amongst the most horribly toxic chemicals in the average home. But since cleaners are kept out of reach, I think the biggest risk to our girls would be the gummy vitamins.
Not just kids are at risk! Older adults need to READ warning labels. My dad just landed in the ICU for 4 days because of an overdose of OTC nasal spray, which interacted with his blood pressure medication. I might need they “yuck” stickers for his home too!
I think that OTC medications and vitamins can pose the highest risk. Children see “eat” them, and we even give them to our children so this makes them safe in a childs eyes. Plus, many of the meds/vitamins that we give our kids taste good so that makes it even more appealing to a child.
The most dangerous poison around us in the south would have to be all of the insecticides we use to repel against mosquitos and all the other pests!

I have to agree with other posts, that everyday cleaners such as window cleaner, toilet cleaner, etc. is the most dangerous types of poison.
We have so many different types of household cleaners. I think those are the most dangerous ones. And they look so tempting…like you said in your post…some look like blue or yellow gatorade or kool-aid.
I think vitamins are the most poisonous particularly the ones with iron.
Household cleaners.
I think that all the cleaners are so not good even for adults. Tanks for the giveaway.
probably clorox bleach….
We use alot of the green cleaners at our house so I feel safe with those around, so the most dangerous poison we have at our house is fireant poison. This stuff stinks, and gives me a severe stomach and headache so I know it can not be good for us at all. Plan to find a better way to deal with these pest.
I would have to say medicine. It is poison to us much worse if my 13 yr old got into
Gummy vitamins for sure! It's so tempting for little ones to eat more than they should.
I liked Palmetto Poision Center. Thank you for your help for awareness.
Prescription and OTC medicines, which are generally in easy reach of children and pets, yet can be quite harmful to both.
Honestly, I have bleach for clothes locked up in my laundry room so I guess soaps would be my biggest threat since we use vinegar/baking soda etc for most everything else.
One big threat is Elephant Ears (plants) we got rid of ours but my sister almost died from almost eating one (she didn't swallow). Scary at the crazy plants that are so dangerous and no one knows.
i think medicine is the most tempting for my little guy…he loves the taste of the medicines I give him

Perhaps this may seem a little unorthodox, but I think one of the bigger risks that we fail to talk about is the sun. Of course, small doses is healthy, but I fear that we do not educate our children enough on the ways that sun can “poison” our body.

Bleach
drain cleaners, not only internally but also on the skin or eyes on infants who may play with cans or bottles and the tops aren't on tight. they shouldn't even be in the kitchen or bathroom but in a storage room, well ventilated, because they can be combustible with other chemical. these guys can be dangerous.

I have to agree that Gummie vitamins are probably the most dangerous because they look and taste like candy.
I have a fear of drain cleaner. I think it is the most dangerous cleaner. It is so dangerous that I won't leave it in the house. If I need it I use it all up in one time in all the drains in the house.
it's the bleach that keeps my whites so pretty!
In my house kid vitamins would be the biggest threat. My kids are old enough to know what cleaners are and wouldn't drink them, but the vitamins are a big draw. They think of them as candy.

Other than the obvious dangers of cleaners/chemicals, I would say that plants are some of the most poisonous things in/around someone's house. We got rid of many ordinary houseplants when our first child began walking. (Some were too large to hang). Even something as common as Hydrangeas can cause a child to have cramps/diarrhea if ingested. Not to mention how dangerous they are to pets, too.

I work in a hospital and I see quite regularly children being brought to the emergency room because they had ingested their parents or grandparents medications.

I agree thatmedications and cleaners of all sorts are highly dangerous. I never had a problem with my kids and those but I had to really lay down the law about eating berriesor leaves at “tea parties”.
I have several household plants that I know are highly toxic when consumed. However, I always think that things such as gummy vitamins are a greater risk to children because they like the taste (it's really like candy to them).
That would be all the medications we have.

We don't have young children, so our clearning supplies really aren't put away like they probably should be. I guess I didn't really realize just how dangerous they can be.
Anything under my sinks can be dangerous! I unfortunately never got around to child proofing the doors and just got comfortable trusting my son not to go in there…but thats when it happens! I'll be working on that this weekend.
I think toilet bowl cleaner is one of the most dangerous household products.

Oh my goodness I haven't seen a Mr. Yuck sticker since I was a little kid! We used to put them on my dad's cigarette packs!
Most dangerous poison around? So many to choose from but how about medicine since your children see you take it so they think it is safe.
Household cleaners are probably the most poisonous things in my house
I feel like the antifreeze in my garage is very dangerous.
Bleach is probably the worse. I keep it far out of reach of my child.

Uh-Hm (stepping on my soap box) I work in a pharmacy and I can't tell you how much it annoys me when I have a parent who has their child(ren) with them tell me that they don't want child proof caps on their medications for them or their children because they hate having to struggle with opening the bottles. GRR!!
I agree that the worst would have to be those medicines disguised as “candy” like the gummy vitamins. All medications OTC and RX should be kept far out of reach of children.
I never even considered vitamins to be harmful to children. Thank god I have not reproduced yet. I like Palmetto Poison Center.

Most dangerous are vitamins especially children's versions because they often look and taste like candy so kids will eat them like candy if they can. Because of the iron content they can be very dangerous or even fatal! LOCK up those medicines!!

some holiday plants in your household may have chemicals that are poisonous and cleaners of course are very harmful. My daughter uses a sea breeze astringent for her face and it is a light blue color and my 4 yr. old thought it was mouth wash and wanted some so be careful with them little ones.
prescription drugs
Windex or bleach
I'd say the most dangerous poison for my household is probably the cleaners you keep under the kitchen sink. Child locks for the cabinets work wonders, until the child learns to break in them. Once that happens, I'll definatley use the new storgage spot up high that I am clearing out for storage.
Cleaning solutions have always frightened me with my kids. We have locks on all of our cabinets containing cleaning products.
i think bleach is one of the worse.
Just noticed that my husband had used a old milk jug to mix up fertilizer for the yard and it's sitting where the kids can get to it with a little climbing. There are definitely many things we need to take care of around here!
We have clorox and bathroom cleaners under the sink those are pretty bad

Seeing these stickers brings back memories. I remember bringing them home from school and sticking them on all of my mom's household cleaners. I am going to order me some stickers for my home since I have 2 little ones that don't need to get into harmful cleaners! Thanks Jenny for all that you do! Your website is a lifesaver to my family
I have utilized our poison control center line three times. Once for mucinex (not poisonous, just makes the mucas very thin), Silica-those little packs that they put in new products that say “Do not eat” (not poisonous just a choking hazard), and for berries in a friend's yard. All, thankfully, not poisonous. I'm going to say probably some of the cleaners or medicines.
Cleaning supplies! They are an everyday item that are so dangerous to little ones!
I already like the palmetto poison center on facebook.
The most dangerous poisons around are household cleaners and prescription medications.
I live alone, so for me, the most poisonous/dangerous factors in my home are chocolate and any kind of pill that gets dropped and not found. I have a small dog, so I have to be very careful of both of those. It would be great if Palmetto added a section for pet safety on the website including stickers to help remind us of harmful factors to our furry friends.

right now we are opening our pool. the most poisionous things we have are large buckets of bleach, clorine tab, and muratic acid.
Household drain cleaner is probably one of the most dangerous poisons around people's homes. Also, adult multivitamins are also harmful if ingested in bulk.
Overdosage or mixing of children's medicine. This happend to us once, my daughter was 3 and I gave her Motrin with a presciption med she was on, the two didn't go together and I had to call poison control. Very scary!

I JUST showed 3 of my 7 kids the Mr. Yuk commercial from the 70's YESTERDAY! The look on my 2 year old's face was PRICELESS! In my house I think the most dangerous poison is the toilet bowl cleaner that my husband insists needs to stay under his vanity, even though he's not the one that uses it and ALL the other cleaners are on the shelf ABOVE my front loaders (which are up on the drawers) in the laundry room! I put Mr. Yuk stickers on everything though whether the non-readers can reach it or not, cuz I can't be 100% trusting that my 3 teens won't get down the Glass Plus and accidentally leave it sitting on the counter!
and you can imagine how INFREQUENTLY the teens voluntarily use cleaners! LOL

Weed killer which we have out in the garage.
Just hit and LIKED the Palmeto Poison Center facebook page. I believe ANTIFREEZE is a VERY dangerous poison around our home. We have pets so we keep it WELL out of reach. My baby brother consumed some when he was little mistaking it for punch on a summer day. VERY SCARY!!!!!
Probably the most dangerous poison in my house is the lysol kitchen spray.
Bleach
One time I was cleaning with bleach, I had a small amount in a plastic cup and my son who was five came by and took a drink. Scared me to death!!! He did not swallow it, it was so horrible and burnt his mouth, he spat it out immediately. Needless to say I do not ever leave cleaner out when I clean. I am very careful, especially when small children are around. Especially thirsty ones!!!

Thanks Jenny for putting this issue in front of all of us- you just might help save a young life.

I think the most dangerous poison is definitely Drano… and to think so many people keep it right under their drains where kids can get it.
I would say Bleach is the most dangerous thing in my house but I make sure to keep it put up away from the kids and they are aware of what it is and what it can do

TV can be pretty poisonous! But really, I think cleaning products are the worst things to have where children can ever get them! I've been phasing out of commercial products for the last year to just baking soda, vinegar, and other natural ingredients that you could use to cook with (lemons, olive oil, etc…)
Bleach. Ever since I was pregnant, I couldn't stand the smell of it. Still can't. It's awful.

I think any medication is the worst poison in a home. Generally there is no foul smell (like with cleaning products) and some adult medications can be fatal with a few pills.
Household cleaners are definitely bad, but prescription and over the counter medicine can be misstaken by children as candy and ingested. Always be careful to keep it in a high cabinet out of reach of children.
bleach is pretty dangerous around here!
Bleach and medicines (because they look like candy!) – I keep those up high!

Antifreeze – has a sweet smell to it. Another is alcohol, meaning the stuff in your liquor cabinet, most of us dont think of it as poison and dont lock it up, but for a toddler one big sip is enough to end up very sick…and many liqours smell very good!
I just learned something the other day that I had never heard before. My sister is a pediatric ICU nurse and she has seen kids come in because they got into a tube of orajel. She said that if a child eats or ingests enough of it, it can cause heart failure!! That, I believe, is a little known fact, but it should be known by any parents withyoung children.
I think the most dangerous poison is ammonia (straight). It makes my eyes burn to even open the bottle!

My son got into my spice cabinet and started gulping down cherry extract. I wasn't too concerned until my husband pointed out that it is 25% alcohol. In comparison, most beers have about 5% alcohol. So even though he consumed very little fluid he consumed the same alcohol content as 5 beers. This was a real eye opener. These extracts are used in food and so appear harmless, but they are very dangerous. Being able to call poison control was a life saver. The operator also mentioned mouthwash and nail polish remover as common reasons for parents to call in. We often lock up the bleach, but parents are less cautious with these products.
Cleaning products are probably the most dangerous poison around me. Probably what I am most exposed to as well.

Since the season is rapidly changing over to Spring and the kids are outside playing much more, I would have to say the most dangerous are the products we keep outside to keep the lawn and garden looking great. Things like bug spray, weed killer. Curious little men might be attracted to the bug spray because of the pictures of bugs and curious little women might be attracted to the weed killers and plant fertilizers because of the flowers on the bottles.

Any kind of pest control substances you may have can be very poisonous and harmful to children!
For us, it is probably the gummy vitamins. My daughter will ask for them and tell us hse hasn't had any, even if she already took them that day. Thankfully, we realized it early and are able to ask the other adults in the house to double check.
I agree about the gummy vitamins. We keep ours up and away. My daughter would eat the whole jar if she could.

Comet! I've had a scary experience with this! my brother when he was younger mistaked a container of comet that was sitting on the kitchen counter for the kraft parmesan cheese! Thank goodness we caught it in time before he ate any of it.

i think the scariest thing is cleaners that are colored to look like kool aid. Some of them smell like fruit drinks too.
My scariest poison is our medicine/beauty cabinet that holds deoderant, tums and adult meds. We keep it locked, but my 2 yr old and figured out how to wiggle his fingers in between the lock and door and slide items out. I watched him one day and realized it was HIM leaving it open.

The hormones in our meat!
We got rid of the chemical cleaners in our house and now use Shaklee Get Clean products. I know it is safe around my baby. The scariest thing we still have is pesticides. I caught my 11 month old getting into that cabinet and it really gave me a scare. All of it is going out to our storage shed.
ant killer/bait
the bleach
I'd have to say wither roach killer or chemicals.

Adult medicines like tums, ect. They look like candy and the children see “us” eat them.
hmm…has to be bleach.
gummy vitamins and scented hand-sanitizer
I feel that plants are the most dangerous poison around my house to my grandbaby. She loves to dig in the dirt and I had some plants I didn't know were poison until I looked
House plants.. I know when i was growing up my mom had to call poison control many times because I ate them.

I think that medicines are the more dangerous poison around me! Even though I have childproof containers, my children have still managed to break them open. Most medicine looks like candy, so it can be confusing for kids and pets. My children think that their vitamins are candy, despite me repeatedly telling them it is not.
Adult medications around small children are the most dangerous in my opinion.
Bug sprays
medications in the house or maybe the toilet cleaner ??

I just added the Palmetto Poison Center to my FB page, I have 4 kids and you have to stay on top of cabinet access to little kids, so many things can happen, be aware and be alert to what your kids are doing–
The most dangerous poison around us for me has to be the multivitamins.
The most dangerous poisons around me are the household cleaners, especially the bathroom cleaners.
I work at a children's camp, and what comes to mind as the most dangerous substance we have around is kerosene. Looks like water but definitely harmful! We always keep it in the appropriate cans, though.
Household cleaners, bleach, comet.
The most dangerous poison around our house is probably medicine. We have a 4 month old who will soon be into everything. So, we have already started childproofing our house. Medicines were one of the first things that we locked up…looks too much like something to eat and children are very aware that we put medicine in our mouths; they just don't know the reason or the amount that would be appropriate. Too often they mimic what they see and this could result in a terrible situation.
Household cleaning products and bug sprays are in our home. These would be most dangerous for us. I also follow on FB. Thanks

children's vitamins (gummies) are the most tempting and dangerous around my household.

Great info. I have been thankful for poison control more than once with both my little ones.

The most dangerous poisons around me would most def. be all the cleaners I have in every bathroom cabinet and under the kitchen sink.
and…i LIKED it on facebook….
I found out about how poisonous some of the cleaners were that I was using, including bleach and windex, so now I try to use things that are less harmful to clean with like vinegar and baking soda. I think the most harmful thing around us would be antifreeze, because once our son, age 3, remarked that it looked like his fav blue drink.
I think the most dangerous poison around me are the vitamins….I remember too my brother and I each ate a whole bottle of them when we were little and when my mom found us with them she called and was told to make up throw them up…she then gave us each some yellow mustard on a spoon and yes it did the trick…we gave back everyone of those poisonous tasty treats!

My son's meds are perhaps the most dangerous poisons around us. Some of them have to be kept in the refrigerator, too! We hide them the best we can, put a child lock on the fridge, and we keep tabs on the kids, but it still scares us a little!

Household cleaners
I think the most dangerous poison is compressed air canisters
Cleaning products
The ant poison is probably the worst
No kids in the house, but medications can still be dangerous – the bottles of prescription meds and the pills inside often look very similar so it's easy to take the wrong meds
I keep all of the dangerous items out of reach, and preferably out of the house when possible. I worry most about medications.
New Facebook fan of Palmetto Poison Center! Thanks!

I think the most dangerous poisons are in our garage. Things like weed killer and a sealant I use on my metal jewelry. :( We keep the kids away from that sort of thing, but this is a great way to remind us why!
