Don't be caught later wishing you had done just that.
In 2006, unintentional poisoning caused about 703,702 emergency department (ED) visits (CDC 2008).
Almost 25% of these unintentional ED visits resulted in hospitalization or transfer to another facility (CDC 2008).

This is a must! While being an administrator of an early childhood center, I was horrified at how excited young children were to take medicine! They come in all yummy flavors, and forms - suckers, gum, gummy bears... Leaving these out in the open, even if its not "within child's reach" is still too much of a risk. Lock 'em up!
