For every parent, the safety of the child is undoubtedly the top priority, afraid that the child will be accidentally hurt. Especially for small children with weak safety awareness, who like to put anything in their mouths and taste it, they are easily hurt by it, and there is such an inconspicuous small object in our daily life, but it hides a huge danger for children.
The 3-year-old boy mistakenly took desiccant, and at the critical moment, Bao Mom saved the baby's life
Some time ago, there was a media report on such a news, a 3-year-old boy named Le Le (pseudonym) ate snacks at home on the weekend, mistakenly ate a bag of desiccant in the snack into his mouth, fortunately, Lele's mother was next to the child at the time, and "saved Lele's life" at the critical moment, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
The thing is this, Lele is a little more than 3 years old this year, usually very naughty, like to put some toys, daily necessities into the mouth, and Lele's mother has not been too serious, until this day the accident happened.
This weekend, Lele opened a bag of snacks in the living room as usual, and Lele's mother was playing with her mobile phone, but Lele took advantage of her mother's inattention to put the desiccant in the snack into her mouth and bit through the package.
LeLe's mother found that the child mistakenly ate the desiccant after the can not help but be very anxious, anxious to recall that he had seen the children mistakenly eat desiccant related first aid measures, first of all, immediately took out the desiccant that the child had not swallowed in his mouth, quickly drank several packs of pure milk for the child, and quickly took the child to the hospital.
After coming to the hospital after a detailed examination, it was found that due to the proper and timely disposal measures, lele's body was not a problem, and the doctor could not help but praise Lele's mother: "Fortunately, you did not read less, saved the child's life, I have to say that reading is really useful." Lele's mother was also very afraid of a false alarm, and secretly made up her mind to take care of the child in the future, especially the child's problem of eating randomly must be changed by him.
Small desiccants are dangerous, and parents must be careful
I have to say that Lele, who mistakenly ate the desiccant, is indeed very lucky, because the price of quicklime desiccant is low, so many small food manufacturers will choose to use quicklime as a food desiccant. However, the main component of quicklime desiccant is quicklime, because quicklime will form calcium bicarbonate after contact with water, calcium bicarbonate has a strong corrosiveness, will burn the mouth and esophagus, so after the child mistakenly takes quicklime desiccant, you should give the child more milk at the first time, on the one hand, drinking more milk can induce vomiting, which is conducive to quicklime discharge, on the other hand, milk can protect the oral and esophageal mucosa, and minimize the damage.
Quicklime desiccant is indeed very dangerous, if not handled properly after taking it, the consequences are unimaginable, before the media has reported many examples of children being injured due to quicklime desiccant, for example, as early as 2015, there was a 5-year-old child in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, who accidentally splashed into the eyes after opening the food desiccant, and finally led to the child's binocular burns, binocular endophthalmia, so that his eyes were permanently damaged, covering his life.
Because the danger of quicklime desiccant is extremely high, so now the vast majority of regular food manufacturers have eliminated this desiccant, the use of silicone desiccant and other safer choices, but the quicklime desiccant has not disappeared, now there are still some unscrupulous manufacturers blindly pursuing profits, still using low-cost quicklime desiccant, we parents need to be vigilant.
To avoid children being harmed by desiccant, parents need to do the following 3 points
1. Try to buy food from big manufacturers for your child
Nowadays, quicklime desiccant has been eliminated by major manufacturers, and silicone desiccant is much less dangerous for children. Therefore, when we buy snacks for our children, we should try to buy food produced by large manufacturers for our children to reduce the probability of children encountering quicklime desiccant.
2. Improve your child's safety awareness
In fact, many times the reason why children are harmed by desiccant, a major reason is that the child's safety awareness is weak, do not realize that the desiccant may cause harm to themselves, we as the parents of the child must usually improve the child's safety awareness, to avoid the child to develop the bad habit of eating everything.
3. Avoid contact with food desiccant
Finally, in order to avoid the child being harmed by the desiccant, we can also avoid the child's exposure to the food desiccant from the root cause, and immediately throw the desiccant away or place it in a place that the child cannot reach when the food package is opened, so as to avoid the danger of the child being harmed by the desiccant.
epilogue:
For children with low safety awareness, many small objects that we ignore in daily life may hurt children, and we as parents of children must be vigilant, pay attention to enhancing children's safety awareness, and protect children from growing up healthy and safe.
