That’s a scale I just made up, by the way.Ĭarolyn: Oven cleaners and degreasers are corrosive. Dun dun dun!Ĭarolyn: I’m gonna give these a three skull and crossbones on the skull and crossbones scale.
#Spring cleaning jokes how to
Figured we’d just go through briefly what kind of toxicity we worry about, and go through a few exposure scenarios, how to deal with them, and as always, some helpful prevention tips.Ĭarolyn: The first one: oven cleaners and degreasers. I compiled a nice bulleted list…Ĭhris: …of quite a few different cleaner types categorized by what might use them for. What do we like to do this time of year?Ĭarolyn: But inside we do spring cleaning.Ĭhris: The responsible folk do some spring cleaning.Ĭhris: So we figured, to go along with Poison Prevention Week we’ll talk about one of our, um, a topic that we get numerous calls-this is a daily call for us.Ĭarolyn: Yeah we get calls about cleaners all the time, but we thought you know, it’s spring, spring cleaning, let’s talk some about cleaners in depth.Ĭhris: Yes, let’s talk about household cleaners and chemicals. So it’s National Poison Prevention Week, but it also happens to fall on….Ĭhris: Spring! That’s right! What’s that called again?Ĭhris: So, it’s a week after daylight saving time…Ĭarolyn: Above freezing some of the time…Ĭhris: Yeah some of the time. Additionally you can find the link from there. I believe all the virtual events this week are hosted on their Facebook page. There is a banner you can click on that will bring up more information. A lot of that is available at, which stands for American Association of Poison Control Centers. Each year they hold various virtual events, even an artwork contest. We even have a National Poison Prevention Week Council. As I said it’s to raise awareness, reduce unintentional poisonings, and promote poison prevention. What’s that phone number again?Ĭhris: So National Poison Prevention Week was started in 1961 by Congress. It’s a week dedicated to raising awareness about poison centers and the Poison Help hotline. She’s studying up on poisons.Ĭarolyn: We miss you, Karlee! But at least this way any jokes we can make about Karlee instead of me and my age.Ĭarolyn: Just poison information, just the facts.Ĭhris: Karlee did choose a good week to take off, it’s a pretty exciting week here.Ĭhris: It’s National Poison Prevention Week!Ĭhris: It’s the third week of March every year, from March 20 st to 26 th this year. I’m sure she’s actually not enjoying the weather. She’s going to be so sad she missed this podcast, just down in Florida with the warm weather…Ĭhris: I’m sure she’s just looking at toxic snakes and bugs and all that. My name’s Chris and I have Carolyn here with me.Ĭhris: We don’t have Karlee with us this week, and why is that?Ĭarolyn: Karlee is on vacation.
