Spinach, Peanut Butter, Lunchbox Lead What's Next?

(Media-Newswire.com) - With National Poison Prevention Week approaching next week, the Ruth A. Lawrence Poison and Drug Information Center is sharing tips that'll keep you and your family safer this year. This has been a year where it seems nothing is harmless, be it the peanut butter sandwich or the lunchbox itself, said Ruth A. Lawrence, M.D., the medical director of the center, which serves the 12-county Finger Lakes area. People are increasingly concerned about food poisoning, lead poisoning and carbon monoxide poisoning, in addition to the more common poisons that are routinely stored under kitchen sinks, medicine cabinets, or in the garage.
