Kids' quiz: Do you know the rules for medicines and chemicals?

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 💊 Medicines are special chemicals: They help us when we are sick, but they can be harmful if not used correctly.
• 📝 Always ask a grown-up: Never take medicine without asking a parent, guardian, or doctor first. They know what's best for you.
• ⚠️ Read the label: Medicines have instructions on how much to take and when. Understanding this is really important.
• 🧪 Chemicals can be dangerous: Cleaning supplies, bug sprays, and other chemicals can be harmful if swallowed or touched.
• 🔒 Keep chemicals locked up: Store them in a safe place where kids and pets can't reach them.
• 🚫 Never mix chemicals: Mixing chemicals can create dangerous fumes or explosions.
• 📞 In case of emergency: If someone swallows a medicine or chemical, call for help immediately (like 911 or a poison control center).
