Many things in our homes, like cleaning sprays and medicines, can be poisonous if we eat or drink them! They might look like candy or juice, but they can make you very sick. That is why you should never put anything in your mouth if you do not know what it is.
If you find something colorful in a bottle or a box, always ask a grownup before touching it. Grownups keep dangerous things up high or locked away to protect you. Never open bottles or containers that belong to grownups without asking first!
If you ever accidentally taste something yucky or strange, tell a parent right away so they can help. A grownup can also call a special poison help number to find out what to do. Always read labels with a grownup to learn what is safe and what is not!
