More Information
Summary:The main causes were products within the children's reach, storage in soft drink bottles, food mixed with rodenticides, incorrect product use, and kitchen utensils used for measured cleaning products.27 We also found an association for the variable "parent's education," reclassified as having studied up to incomplete high school28 and high school up to higher education10 as a risk factor. Knowledge of parents and caregivers on the prevention of children poisoning may play an essential role to prevent subsequent injuries. [...]it is very important to increase awareness/knowledge of parents through mass media campaign about the unwanted and serious effects of improper use of medicine to reduce the incidence of poisoning among children.
