Spring Cleaning?
And Preschoolers
If there are preschoolers in
the home, keep, furniture polish
and other "cleaning aids out of
their reach. Young children
who will put anything in their

the digestive tract to the blood,
then to the lungs. It can get
to the lungs 30 minutes after
it has been swallowed, and cause
serious pulmonary complica
