I just had to call poison control b/c my 3 year old son decided that he wanted to taste the gel air freshener that was in Billy's bathroom. @@ I was in my bathroom fixing my hair when he came in and had this odd look on his face. I asked him what he did and he said he ate his book. So, I was thinking no big deal, right?
Well, then he tells me he needs something to drink and I tell him to wait a sec. About a millisecond later I start smelling something and it was the gel air freshener from Billy's bathroom. He had poured I don't know how much on his hands and decided it to put it in his mouth. I immediately turn my faucet on in my bathroom and get his stool and tell him to start drinking water (he likes to stick his mouth under the faucet so, he knew what to do.)
Then, I called Poison Control and they couldn't even find the air freshener in their database or online. The lady at Poison Control told me the best thing to do was to give him something to drink, watch him and make sure he didn't start coughing. She said the chemicals that are in these air fresheners can get into their lungs and cause a chemical pneumonia.
Here I was thinking that he was over putting stuff in his mouth.
This is what the stuff looks like:
