Dr. Rachel O'Geen from the Florida/USVI Poison Information Center has a few helpful tips.

In the case of your kids, keep such things as lighter fluid out of their hands so they cannot transfer it into their mouth. Also if you are having a barbecue, make sure the food you are using has been properly stored and not undercooked.

They have a toll free helpline that is available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week 1-800-222-1222.
