Podcast 007 Poison Proof Home

Every year, thousands of children are rushed to the ER because they’ve accidentally swallowed or been exposed to poison contained in a household cleaning product that’s usually lurking under the kitchen and bathroom sinks. On today’s episode, Lenys Klumpp of the Florida Poison Information Center – Miami talks about how to poison proof your home. Before we get to her, our coffee chat brings parents news they can use about lead found in 20% of baby food and what to do when a pain or bump won’t go away.
