Accidental poisoning can happen in an instant, even if you’re there but have been distracted momentarily.

So keep antifreeze well out of children’s reach.

And, to put children off swallowing things they shouldn’t, look out for products that contain a bittering agent, such as Bitrex.

We're tackling 5 myths about meningitis in this post. ⬇️

❌ Meningitis only affects babies.
✅ Meningitis can affect anyone at any age.

❌ You always get a rash with meningitis.
✅ A rash doesn’t always appear. It can be one of the last symptoms, if it appears at all. Do not wait for a rash if you suspect meningitis.

❌ Viral meningitis is quick to recover from.
✅ Although most people will make a full recovery, the recovery process can be slow. Some can be left with life-changing after-effects.

❌ Vaccines protect against all meningitis types.
✅ Vaccines are available to prevent some types of meningitis and most of these are available as part of the UK routine immunisation schedule. However, not all types of meningitis can be prevented by these vaccines.

❌ There is only one type of meningitis.
✅ Many different viruses, bacteria and fungi can cause meningitis. Other causes of meningitis include some medicines or brain tumours.

Winter brings longer nights and low sun, making it harder for drivers to spot pedestrians. So do your best to be safe and be seen. Wear bright clothing during the day and reflective clothing or accessories after dark.

If your child or their school insists on a darker colour coat, you can add reflective strips to increase visibility.

🥝 KIWIFRUIT ALLERGY 🥝

Allergy to kiwifruit started to become common in the UK in the 1980s with the most common cause in adults being pollen food syndrome. It is possible to have a serious reaction to kiwifruit.

⚠️It's important to know that kiwifruit is NOT included in the list of UK top 14 major food allergens meaning it won't be highlighted on food labels.

Find out more in our accredited Kiwifruit Allergy Factsheet. Link in comments.

WARNING: Baby sleep pillows can be deadly

These soft pillows and cushions are often marketed for baby sleep or as somewhere for a baby to be left unsupervised. But this can cause suffocation or overheating, and your baby might even die.

Despite what some online product listings suggest, pillows are not recommended for babies until they are at least 12 months old. The safest place for your baby to sleep is on a clear, firm, flat surface.
