Calling POISON CONTROL

Yes that's right you read the title correctly. This morning while Daddy was taking a shower and Mommy was making spinach and phyllo dough pockets Jacob decided to explore his environment and found something new.........it was a Bath and Body Works air freshener. He has been dieing to get to the one at the office and we had to put the ones up higher at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I should have taken my own advice and moved the ones at our house higher as well. Little Jacob comes strolling in to the kitchen holding the plug-in in one hand and the air freshener bottle in the other. His mouth was green (the color of the air freshener) and it was running down his mouth. I IMMEDIATELY grabbed the spare air freshener I have locked up and read the back for a warning. It stated if swallowed do not induce vomiting, contact Poison Control immediately. This is why Kaiser asks if you have the telephone number for Poison Control by the phone. I don't so I had Jay Google it. I called them and the pharmacist stated that if he wasn't choking on the fumes, then he was going to be ok. Apparently it's only dangerous if he ingested a large amount or if he managed to inhale it in to his lungs. She said to give him some juice to wash it out of his mouth and he would be fine. It gave me a heart attack. So needless to say all air fresheners are up and out of Jacob's reach.............for now.
