Most of the millions of poisonings reported each year to the 61 nationwide Poison Control Centers happen in the home, writes Rita R. Robison in her WalletPop story Accidental Poisonings: Five Tips to Keep Your Family Safe. Robison offers key strategies for guarding against danger and protecting kids -- often the victims of poisonings, which are one of the fastest-rising causes of accidental death in the United States, according to the National Safety Council.
