A mother answering a phone momentarily leaves her two year old alone. She returns to find the child unconscious beside an open bottle of cleaning fluid, a tragic accidental poisoning. In Texas last year over 500 poisoning deaths occurred, more than two thirds were children under five.
The text outlines accidental poisoning stats nationwide and a UTMB Poison Center alliance with NPCN to combat poisonings in Texas. It promotes Mr YUK, a child friendly warning symbol, and describes a classroom testing result where skull and crossbones was most effective, urging sticker distribution and a Galveston contact for emergencies.
A writer recalls a morning at the police station amid quirky banter about a chicken resembling Phyllis Diller and flimsy Saturday night guns. The piece shifts to La Marque property taxes, urging revaluation using county appraisals to lower rates, ease the burden on newer homes, and consider senior citizen deductions.
