We want you to be safe for the holidays!
The Utah Poison Control Center has tips on how to do so. Like them on facebook to learn more by simply clicking the link below.
Halloween:
• Lamp oil is festive and attractive but a potentially deadly product if swallowed. Consider using battery operated candles
• Dry ice is commonly used to set an eerie atmosphere, but avoid putting it in individual glasses and keep out of the reach of children to avoid burns on the skin
• Throw out Halloween candy that is not in
original wrappers
Thanksgiving:
With recent cases of Salmonella poisoning from chicken affecting people across the country including here in Utah, it is a good time to review food safety practices:
1. Wash surfaces and utensils after each use to prevent cross-contamination
2. Cook food to proper temperature (poultry to 165° F)
3. Refrigerate leftover food within 2 hours
4. If you suspect food poisoning report it to your local health department
Call us if you have any questions 1-800-222-1222
Did you ever consider that school
backpacks could be a source
of poisoning?
