Harmless looking products can kill a child.

My little boy has just been release from PICU due to ingesting visine... A word of warning for parent who leave things like thin in their purses or on the coffee table. A dose as small as 5ml can KILL a 2yr old child. I had Visine in my backpack and my son got a hold of it while I wasn't looking. I am not the type of parent that regularly leaves ANY type of med lying around. Visine has Absolutly no Child resistant packaging. I didn't think that it was all that dangerous until I found my little boy on the flor of my living room in respiratory arrest. Please be careful.

I think they did a CSI where someone was killed when another person put Visine in their drink.

How scary! And Visine doesn't even have child resistant packaging either! I don't have any... does it even say harmful if swallowed? It sounds like it should say poisonous if swallowed. Of course no one would want to put it in their eyes!
