Travel, Your Medicines and Curious Kids
Are you going to be visiting family soon? Are there children in the home you are visiting? Or will you be traveling with children? How safe will your medicines be during your visits/travels? They see pills as
candy and will eat as many as they can get their little hands on. They know that adults keep candy/snacks in their purses, diaper bags &/or pockets, so they may try to sneak them. Remember, children can open those
child proof caps. Sunscreen and baby powder can also be a problem if eaten by a curious child.
Make sure your travels are enjoyable and safe.
