Whether you're spending time at the pool, grilling outdoors, or enjoying the last days of summer break, a few simple precautions can help prevent poisonings and other emergencies.

Continue practicing these summer safety habits:
✅ Store pool chemicals in their original containers, locked up and away from children
✅ Keep gasoline, lighter fluid, and other fuels securely stored and out of reach
✅ Never leave medications in a hot car, and store them according to the label instructions
✅ Refrigerate perishable foods promptly after outdoor meals and picnics
✅ Keep insect repellents, sunscreen, and other outdoor products out of children's reach when not in use
✅ Read product labels before using chemicals, fuels, or medications

Summer may be winding down, but poison prevention is important all year long.

If you have questions about a poison exposure or think someone has swallowed something harmful, call the Georgia Poison Center for immediate expert advice.
