Interesting....

Yeah Yeah .. I know I am not the best poster in the world with one post on the board so far. But I found this interesting. I got a new job at a meat processing plant and classes for it started today. Well, we did an experiment in class.

Basically the person teaching the class had small jars with different things in them to compare to each other. In two of the jars marked a and b was blue koolaide and windex in the other. It's hard to tell the diffrence. She also had one with water and the other contained rubbing alcohol as well as one with maple syrup and the other with motor oil. Two of the jars contained epson salt and the other table salt. What other products can you think of that sit on our shevles in our homes or the stores that if placed in wrong containers and/or if not properly marked would look the same?

This is one reason so many children are poisoned each year. Too many bad items are packaged in containers that are eye pleasing to children, and they look like things kid are given to eat or drink. If manufactuer's put poisonous items in gastly, unattractive, or scary packages, maybe the kids wouldn't be too curious about them.

funny, but this post made me remember an old poem I heard back in highschool:

Johnny was a chemist.
Johnny is no more.
What Johnny thought was H2O
Was H2SO4

Speaking of poisonous substances, I put all the cleaners and such on top of the fridge, not under the sink. Better safe than sorry.

Reminds me of my Gran.
Back in my bad days she found some stash and thought it was mixed herbs.
That would have been so funny to see her and friends eat a stew or similar then just chill out.

why in the HELL did your friend have a bottle of piss in his fridge???

and you would think if he knew there was a bottle of piss in there, he would check it first before drinking.

Oh yeah, the ol' iced tea/piss switcheroo. That's an easy one, you know, since everybody has a spare bottle or two of piss sitting around in close proximity to their beverages! Care to elaborate?

A friend of mine's daughter accidently drank oven cleaner when it was in an unmarked water bottle in the fridge(the babysitter had put the wrong bottle in there. Te poor girl did not have any fun in the hospital over that one.

Back in creative writing class there was a short story I remember reading. It gave me such a vivid picture that I can't forget it. There was this kid who was dying (can't remember why exactly) his mom came in and put a glass of cherry soda on his nightstand. He just laid there for a while kindof gathering up strength to drink. Reached out grabbed a glass of red liquid and started to drink. Then realized it was his water that he'd coughed up blood into. Wierd. This kindof reminds me of that.

bleach and vinigar are simliarly packaged - similar shaped bottles even. Also Baking soda and carpet deoderizer.

I'd like to venture a thought here... how's about parents quit being irresponsible and do their job right, and then kids won't ingest poison/drown in pools/start fires/etc....

It's fucking ridiculous how people justify blaming someone else for how THEY do something, rather than identifying a possible risk and eliminating it.

That'd be like complaining that cars can hit kids, because kids are slower than cars, so cars should travel slower than kids to keep them safe.

Fuck that.

There's a reason why EVERY ONE OF THESE stories starts out with the word "unattended"... sure you can leave them for a minute, but not in a place that isn't safe for them to be alone.

An UNATTENDED child can drown in 1 inch of water. A proper parent does NOT leave a child alone in a tub, so children should NEVER die in a tub.

Fuck that, don't bitch at me that products are "too closely resembling somethign for a kid". YOU had the kid- quit trying to skimp on your responsibilities.

Do your job, or give them to someone who WILL love them.

How about not making a tangent here

stuff that resembles eachother...
indonesian red ink and port
alot of salves and mayonaise (we keep both in the fridge, and there are tubes of salve with hardly any label. But they are clearly separated and out of reach for anyone under 1.8 meters)

how about a common cause of error for newbie chefs?
salt and sugar are pretty close

...lemme calm down over this.
Now, not every parent who has a child that ingests some misleading substance does not love their children as you seem to imply. Not every incident of this is because parents are "careless" like you want to believe. Not every parents "skimps on their responsibilites."

Horrible reference, but still relevant, I have a ferret, I ferretproof the house in the same you should babyproof(if there is such a thing) your house. After one day of letting them out to play, they start playing around with cleaning bottles that were left out. Because of that, does that make me a bad pet owner because someone left a cleaning bottle out that they got to?

As for drowning in an inch of water, I recollect stories of parents having to go catch a phone call or something along those lines. Sure it's careless, and I bet they're living a hell that I doubt you or I can not understand unless we've been through it.

he had a bottle by his bed, and he pissed into it because he was too lazy to get up and go to the bathroom... forgot about it, and a day or two later came the caughing scenario =P

Ok people, plain and simple.

Parent Buy stuffs
Some stuff is poisonous
Parent put stuffs away
Parent put poisonous stuffs out of reach of children

Plain and simple. Those who don't do the above...well, obviously they're not meant to be parents if they can't be careful for their children. My brother once got into the medic cabinet and ate shitload of stuff that was bad and ended up having his stomach pumped. Of course, my mom was smart enough to put them in another cabinet that was out of his reach but still within my reach
