“oik Th| s week has been designated as
National Poison Prevention Week
ind is designed to help parents,
IL j ^Dparents and others in taking a
ook at the potential poisons in their
lomfes, garages, gardens, and
3 contae« borhood
? During 1978, the Southeast Texas
„ " Poison Center assisted with nearly
“ [3,000 poisoning cases. More than
zawa tk[2 percent of these involved chil-
om youiifrenjunder five years old.
“Children in this age group, and
ians havtlostl particularly those in the 6
Shangkponths to 3 year age bracket, live in
Chineses hand-to-mouth’ world,” said
own adnflfchpel D. Ellis, director of the
trainingi 0 | S()n Center.
China f There are certain areas in the
lome that are particularly danger-
cert in Ftl s ft )r instance, under the kitchen
6 r lBP'F 1 e bathroom sink, and the ga-
)r “ ls age.lThese areas are where most
nt wbiaKjpL s t ore cleaning products. The
garage contains lots of petroleum
distillate-containing (oil-based)
products such as gasoline, paint
enamel paints, etc. With
diese products, as little as one sip, if
tgets into the lungs, can be poten-
IflfiMylatal. ”
■jf® 1 The major substances ingested by
young children include plants, col
li Direcpgnes and perfumes, cosmetics, dis-
00 sur in ^ ecta ' lts anc ^ household cleaners,
y L.Chcwable multivitamins rank high
1 )n the list of frequently ingested
nedicines along with cough prepa-
arn negations, aspirin, and aspirin substi-
■ names, ites.
Of eitl' "Over 77 percent of the cases that
works! le Prison Center has assisted with
Jn be treated at home,” Ellis said,
thus eliminating the necessity of
taking the child to either their
physician or the emergency room.
That’s why we encourage the par
ents of children who have ingested a
potentially toxic substance to call
the Poison Center first.”
Prevention of these numerous
poisoning instances is the ultimate
goal of the Poison Center. But pre
vention requres considerable effort
on the part of the adults in the
home.
“This means that traditional stor
age areas for cleaning products,
medicines, furniture polishes, etc.
must be altered. Areas, like under
the kitchen sink, must be cleaned
out and the household products
moved to higher locations.
“Since most houses don’t have an
overabundance of storage places, we
recommend that canned goods be
put under the kitchen sink and the
cleaning products be placed in high
cabinets. ”
Another way to help keep small
children out of poisonous items is to
use Mr. YUK stickers.
“When these stickers are used as
a teaching tool, they can be very ef
fective in labeling the many sub-

stances that the child should not
touch,” he said.
“If the parents will take the child
with them and go over and over
with the child that Mr. YUK is a
NO-NO — and he will make you
sick, the child can be taught to leave
Mr. YUK labeled products alone.
“Should all else fail,” Ellis said,
“and if the child should require
medical attention, we can assist in
referring the patient to either their
physician, the nearest Member
Hospital in the Poison Center Net
work or the closest emergency
room. The Poison Center will call
ahead and tell the medical facility
what the problem is and also rec
ommend the proper treatment. In
that way the child will receive the
best and quickest care possible.”
The Member Hospitals that are
part of the Poison Center Network
include Hermann Hospital, Clear
Lake Hospital, and Houston North-
ewest Medical Center all in Hous
ton, as well as John Sealy Hospital
in Galveston.
“Accidental poisoning is a grow
ing problem,” Ellis said, “and there
are some 100,000 cases of poisoning
each year in Texas. But we hope
that we can help reduce this
number by parent education and
through the use of the Mr. YUK
poison warning symbol.”
Should a poisoning emergency
occur, the Southeast Texas Poison
Center can be reached by calling
654-1701 in Houston. The Mr. YUK
stickers can be obtained by sending
a large, self-addressed, stamped
envelope to the Southeast Texas
Poison Center, 8th & Mechanic,
Galveston, TX 77550.
