But if you have children at home, you must remember to store these things well. You don't know that they will do serious harm to children and even the whole family.
barge
If any family member smokes, lighters must be used up and kept out of the reach of children. There are many news reports that children cause fires or burn themselves and their families because they play with lighters.
An evening newspaper reported that a 2-year-old boy threw a lighter into the stove out of curiosity. As a result, the lighter exploded, causing serious burns on the child's face.
desiccant
Many foods contain desiccants. In the process of eating snacks, children take a bite of desiccant as a snack or take it apart as a toy. There are many tragedies like this.
An 8-year-old boy was curious to put desiccant into a drink bottle filled with water, but the bottle exploded! The child's right eyeball is eroded and melted, so he is blind!
20 14 a 5-year-old child in Jiangxi accidentally splashed into his eyes after opening the food desiccant. After diagnosis, the child's eyes burned, which may cause permanent vision damage.
Because quicklime is commonly used in desiccant. Quicklime reacts violently when it meets water, producing alkaline chemical calcium hydroxide and releasing a lot of heat. If it is placed in a closed space, it will explode once the heat reaches the critical point.
If eaten by mistake, it will burn the digestive tract.
Desiccant accidentally enters eyes. Wash eyes with plenty of water as soon as possible, but be careful not to rub them by hand. Go to the hospital for further treatment immediately after cleaning.
Toilet cleaner+bleach
Many families have toilet cleaner and bleach, but many parents don't know that mixing these two kinds will cause poisoning.
Some time ago, a child "did an experiment" at home, mixing toilet cleaner and bleach in a cup. Before long, the child began to cough violently and had symptoms of dyspnea. Fortunately, it was sent to the hospital in time, which did not cause a greater tragedy.
The reason why children have this symptom is gas poisoning.
Toilet cleaner is acidic, while bleach or disinfectant is alkaline. When these two substances are mixed together, they will have a chemical reaction and release toxic gases. If inhaled, it will be poisoned.
In fact, the description of the toilet cleaner clearly States that it cannot be used with chemicals such as bleach, but many parents probably haven't read it carefully.
Laundry beads
Colorful washing beads are bright and soft, which can arouse children's curiosity. I don't know that it is also the "invisible killer" of children.
Because laundry beads contain high concentrations of active agents, stabilizers, neutralizers, clothes fresheners and other ingredients, children will cause severe vomiting or cough after eating by mistake, and may also cause damage to digestive tract and airway mucosa, eventually leading to liver and kidney function damage.
Henan Children's Hospital once treated a baby for more than 9 months, mistaking laundry beads for jelly. Fortunately, the treatment was timely and there was no danger to life.
Once children are found to have eaten laundry beads by mistake, they can drink some milk and soybean milk first, dilute the concentration and then send them to the hospital immediately.
camphor ball
Mothballs contain toxic substances such as dichlorobenzene. If taken by mistake, it will cause acute poisoning and a series of symptoms such as headache, chills and fever, vomiting and diarrhea, spasm, muscle tremor and shortness of breath.
When using mothballs at home, put them out of the reach of children. In order to avoid children eating by mistake, parents can use bamboo charcoal package and absorbent silica gel instead of mothballs.
