You go into your flower-decorated living room and see that your one-year-old child sucks some kind of leaf. Poisonous? You suddenly realize that you do not know. Fearing the worst, you are taking the child to the reception room. The nurse on duty asks you the reason for your visit. You say, "He ate a leaf.""What kind of leaf?" - Nurse is interested. Delayed, you realize that in a hurry left a plant at home. You return

home and now you are already in the receiving rest with the pot."What is this?" Asks the nurse this time. Blushing, you confess: "I do not know."An unnamed flower goes to the hands of medical personnel, and each employee says something like: "I think it's. .." - but no one is sure."Where did you get it?" Says the patient nurse, hoping to find at least some clue."Aunt Mary," - you can barely audible.

Know your plants

You need to understand what the term "poisonous plant" means. Many plants are poisonous, but some are more so than others. Many plants are called "poisonous" when all the problems they cause are reduced to burning in the mouth, stomach upset and vomiting without any health consequences. Other plants can be fatal. Fortunately, the leaves of many poisonous plants have such a bitter taste that children rarely feel like eating a whole handful. When buying a plant, check that it has a nameplate on it, and leave it on the spot. Ask a specialist if this plant is poisonous or not, and if it is poisonous, then how much. If the plant does not have a nameplate and toxicity information, do not buy it. If you give a flower, leave an identification plate on it. If the plant is given to you, ask where it was purchased. Gather information about your green friend before letting him in to the family circle. If the plant does not have a label, cut off the branch and take it to a nursery or a greenhouse for identification.

Caution: Some plants are so toxic that they can not be grown in a house or garden -, for example, oleander. Others may be less toxic, and they can be kept in the home, in places inaccessible to the child. It should be understood, however, that the phrase "in places inaccessible to the child" implies that children can not reach the top shelf, although in fact they can, and that the leaves do not fall to the floor, to the child directly into their hands, that they are in factthey do.

Teach your child that you can not eat domestic and garden plants

If you can throw out all the poisonous plants from your own home, then the homes that you come to as guests may not be so focused on children. For example, a grandmother can now embark on decorating her house with those flowers she had long dreamed of, but which she could not afford while you were small, because they are dangerous. By the age of two, children can understand such words as "burns", "ah", "it hurts."But do not count on the fact that two-year-old

will remember your instructions. Supervision is still the best method of prevention.

If your child ate the

plant Even if your child ate one leaflet, do the following.

Inspect the child. Check that the child in the hands and mouth, in search of pieces of the plant, then you can determine if the child ate anything. Most often, the bitter taste of leaves causes the child to immediately spit out the leaf without swallowing a piece. Examine the child's hands, eyes and lips for redness or blisters. Check your tongue and mouth to find out

thread, whether there is bleeding, redness, blistering or swelling.

Inspect the plant. Its name stands in the list of harmless plants or dangerous, or do not you know? If you can not tell exactly which plant your child tried, ask the child to show you his "favorite" plant, and then, when you set up

for frankness, "the one you ate."You should not have a frightened or severe appearance, otherwise the child will close in his shell, and you will not pull out a word from him. If you still have not received an answer, inspect the most available plants;see if the leaves are torn, where the dust has been knocked down, or look for other evidence of the child's touch.

Call the ambulance. If the plant is suspected or poisonous, call an ambulance. Give the full botanical name of the plant by reading the plate, or tell everything that you know about this plant. Place the plant next to you near the phone or cut off the twig to give a description. If the plant is definitely poisonous, health care providers can advise you immediately to give the baby syrup of ipecacuanas, or vomitic root, and juice or water.

Take the baby and plant to the emergency room. If you are still not sure, but full of the worst suspicions, deliver the of the baby and the plant to the emergency room. If you do not know what kind of plant it is, it is better to send someone, if possible, with a cut branch of this plant to the nearest greenhouse to find out the name and degree of virulence when you yourself go to the waiting room. Ask your assistant to call the emergency room and give information about the plant while you are on the road, if you have not yet reached the place. With the exception of burning or other unpleasant sensations in the mouth, nausea, vomiting and discomfort in the stomach, plants rarely cause symptoms of severe poisoning after a few minutes. However, the safest place for you at this time will be, if you are in doubt, an emergency room. In case there are symptoms of intoxication - hoarse, shortness of breath, pallor, uneven heartbeat and a drop in blood pressure - you will be immediately able to provide medical assistance.
