Abstract

Every year thousands of young children, exploring the mysteries of cupboards and cabinets around the house, manage to get into more than simple mischief. A variety of harmful substances, ranging from corrosive acids to cosmetics and medicines are swallowed by these inquisitive youngsters. Poison Prevention Week, observed annually during the third week in March, serves to remind adults of their responsibilities for keeping poisons and children apart.
