This week is Poison Prevention Week.

Heather Hudson with the Manitoba Poison Centre says kids aren’t the only ones at risk of accidental poisoning. She says adults are just as much at risk except our risk factors change. Its not that we're putting things in our mouth to explore our environment, its more of accidentaly digesting somehting because we've mistaken it for something else.

Hudson says pill organizers can help prevent accidental poisoning. She also urges adults to correctly label containers that are being re-used for the storage of left over liquids.

Hudson reminds people to call 1-855-7POISON if someone has been exposed to a toxic substance.
