In the near future, disinfectants such as 84 disinfectants, 75% alcohol, and chlorine-containing disinfectants must be indispensable in every family. Chlorine-containing disinfectants mainly act on the surface of objects and disinfect the external environment. 75% alcohol is used for skin disinfection. It is important to remind that parents should not be careless about storage after using spray bottles.
Especially families with children,
Be sure to warn children: Do not move, do not take! !
The reporter learned that on February 9th, the emergency room of Dalian Children's Hospital received three consecutive children who mistakenly swallowed disinfectant as a drink within one day.

2. There is also a 10-year-old child. The parent put sodium hypochlorite disinfectant in an empty beverage bottle, but what he did not notice is that this beverage is what the child likes to drink, and there is no label, which causes the child to take it by mistake.

3. There is also a child who is younger than the first two. The parent put 75% alcohol into the drink bottle, causing the 3-year-old child to mistake it for a drink.
According to the doctor who received the treatment: Fortunately, the three children mistakenly took a small amount of disinfectant at that time. The parents found out in time and sent them to the doctor. After emergency treatment such as vomiting, the three children are in stable condition and have been discharged from the hospital.

In early childhood, many children especially like to use their mouths to "know" things, and beverages are very attractive to children. Therefore, do not use beverage bottles as disinfectants at home.
2. Keep out of children's reach: Not only disinfectants, but also household medicines, pesticides, anti-viruses and other items, must be out of children's reach, especially for young babies.
3. The sub-bottling must be marked: the sub-bottling of the disinfectant must be marked to prevent accidental ingestion.
