Of the 1,022 cases reported to the Oregon Polson Control Registry In 1906, there were 7S3 accidental poisonings of children under 5 years old. These points are stressed by Governor Tom McCall who has Issued a statement urging Oregon residents to observe National Polson Prevention Week, March 19-25. He directs attention to the one simple precaution that would prevent a majority of poisoning accidents In the home: keep medicines out of the reach of small children. Other toxic substances which should be kept stored safely away are commonly used house hold Items such as cleaning materials, paint thinner, kero sene, insecticides, ammonia, bleaches, and anything else bearing a label that warns of possible harm. Another step strongly sug gested by the Polson Control Registry Is that the family med icine cabinet be cleaned out regularly. Many home tragedies have stemmed from the ac cidental use of left-over pre scriptions. With the large variety of internal medicines now avail able which contain barbiturates or antihistamines, people taking prescriptions should be aware of their possible dangers. Dr. Richard H. Wilcox, State Health Officer, recommends: 1. Know what your prescrlpt- tlon contains and what effects it might have (drowsiness, diz ziness, serious reaction when combined with alcoholic bev erage, etc.). 2. Store It where other people do not have access. 3. When you are through with a medication containing a drug, flush the excess prescription down the drain. Older household remedies also may be highly poisonous if taken Internally. Two of these, camphor and oil of wintergreen, are Items ~hlch the National Clearinghouse for the Polson Control Registry has recently recommended be taken out of general distribution. Aspirin, perhaps the most commonly found article In med icine cabinets, leads the list of substances connected with the poisoning of small children. There were 259 cases reported In Oregon last year where as pirin was the agent that poisoned children under 5. Governor McCall stated: “It would be an excellent Idea for every family to main tain a constant alert against accidental poisonings In the home during each week through out the year.’’ WE HAVE fT!
