OF COURSE MY HOME’S POISON PROOF…OR IS IT?

About the program:

Last year in the United States, a child six years of age or younger was poisoned every 30 seconds because most adults don’t know how to “poison proof”.  Most adults don’t know that to “poison proof”, they have to look through their toddlers eyes instead of their own.  This class will show you how.

About the speaker:

Mike Yudizky has a BS degree in education for East Texas State University and is a former schoolteacher.  Currently he is a firefighter/paramedic with the Dallas Fire Department.  He has been with the Dallas Fire Department for 25 years and has been a paramedic for the last 23 years.  Mike was awarded the fire department’s Paramedic of the Year award in 1986.  Mike is also employed full time with the North Texas Poison Center in Dallas .  He has been with the Poison Center for 14 years and has been the public educator for the last 10 years.  Mike did over 400 education programs last year.  Currently, he also serves as a Co-Chair of the Public Education Committee of the American Association of Poison Control Centers.

Learning objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, the participant should be able to:

1.     Know why children get poisoned;

2.     Know how the North Texas Poison Center works;

3.     Know how to poison proof their home;

4.     Have a better understanding of bites and stings
