Nationally, adults 25 years and older suffer approximately 80 percent of the fatal accidental poisonings. Of 4,000 yearly poisoning deaths, 3,250 are adults in that age group. During 1985 in Utah, there were 15 deaths attributed to accidental poisoning. A total of 12 deaths, or 80 percent, occurred to persons above 25 years of age. While adults are the most likely victims of poisoning deaths, children are most prone to non-fatal poisoning accidents. Parents and grandparents are warned warn-ed that most of these tragic accidents ac-cidents occur in the home, where medications, household cleaning products and cosmetics are the most common items involved in poisonings. poison-ings. The Utah Safety Council recommends recom-mends the following poison prevention preven-tion tips : Store all household cleaning products pro-ducts out of a child's reach, and lock up all toxic products.

Words of warning, diverse definitions by DENNIS HINKAMP consumer information writer Utah State University The words "caution," "danger" and "warning" may sound repetitious, but they have different meanings when they appear on pesticides and household product labels. "Danger" may mean that the product pro-duct is flammable, corrosive or highly toxic. You must read the rest of the label to find out. Captan (in its farm pesticide formulation) for-mulation) has the work "Danger" on the label, but not because of a hazard of poisoning from ingestion. It is labeled "Danger" because it is corrosive if it gets in your eyes, says Dr. Howard Deer, USU Extension pesticide specialist. ?.
