Adults More Likely To Be Poisoned..

" When people think of poison prevention, they tend to think of
little kids," says Debra Kent of the British Columbia Drug and Poison Information centre..

Yet, Kent continues, " most of the deaths from poisoning are
in adolescents and adults."
According to the Vancouver Sun, the majority of accidental poisonings
among adults " resulted from someone placeing a poisonous substances
in another unmarked container-- a plastic water bottle, for example."
Other incidents could have been avoided if people had simply turned
on the light and read the label before useing a product..

According to the Sun, " poisoning ranks fourth among the top 10
causes of deaths from injury in adults."
