More of these stories printed, and more people will bother hospitals with 'potential' cases... an escalating spiral. Hopefully more will keep refills out of reach of their children! Last figures I saw were something like 2 or 3% of reported cases actually needed treatment - only 6 out of a few hundred, IIRC, for the whole UK, in a year. Which is an amazingly small number, considering. How many times do you think a toddler has eaten a cigarette and vomited, yet not been rushed to A and E? Bet it's more than the nic incidents!
What happened to the sagely parental advice of *SMACK!* "DON'T TOUCH THAT!"?
Some of the best lessons were taught that way..
*SMACK!!SMACK!" "GET OUT THE DOG FOOD!" *SMACK!*
*SMACK!* "DON'T PUT PENNIES IN THE LIGHT SOCKET!"
*smack* "STOP HITTING YOUR SISTER!" *SMACK* (that one confused me since I did not have a sister)
*SMACK* "PUT THAT DOWN!! DON'T PUT THAT IN YOUR MOUTH!!"
