Tide Pods Attractive Nuisance?

TOTS CONTINUE CHOMPING CANDY COLOURED CHEMICALS

Tide Pod Tubs Cheery Packaging Proves Headache

Since July 2012 over 2,000 children have been prying their way into Tide Pod tuns to steal what they think is candy, with disastrous results. Just yesterday February 21 another child was admitted for poisoning after ingesting a Tide pod. A quick glance at the packaging shows for the Tide Pods could easily be mistaken for candy by a non-reader. The Tide Pod tub closely resembles plastic candy display tubs found in variety stores.While parents are blaming the packaging for the problem, for years Department of Health officials have advised parents to keep home chemicals under lock and key.

Tide, to help increase the safety of its Tide Pod Tubs, is giving away Re-Sealable Stickers for their Tide Pod Tubs. Each order will contain 4 stickers. Will these stickers keep sticky fingers out of the Tide Pod Tubs? Remember -you are your child's best defense against household poisoning.

Kids on The Block Puppets on Your Block!

CMHA-Peterborough Branch is pleased to once again be offering performances of the Kids on the Block, a special troupe of educational puppets that dress and act like real children. Each one has definite likes and dislikes, hopes and fears, talents and limitations. And, like real children, some have differences such as mental, physical and emotional disabilities.

They offer ten lively, upbeat shows designed by Kids on the Block Inc., that deal with the important issues of children's mental health, being a child of divorced parents, and bullies and school safety. Through a new partnership with Epilepsy Peterborough they are also offering two shows about epilepsy.

Kids on the Block will be appearing in free performances over the March Break at area libraries including three rural libraries- Omemee, Bruce Johnston Branch Cavan, and Millbrook. The Omemee performance will be Monday March 12 at 10:30 am; Bruce Johnston on Tuesday, March 13 at 10 am; and the Millbrook performance takes place Wednesday March 14 at 10 am.

Pigeon Lake Fish Safe Eating? New Interactive Guide!

Eating Pigeon Lake Fish Information – Free Books Now Available Too!

Update Aug.1 2011 - Now available in Omemee!

Eating Bass and other Ontario Sport Fish? The New online ‘Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish’ helps people determine safe dining amounts of Bass plus other popular fish. This online Guide, also available as a FREE pdf download, or booklet, has a wealth of handy information for both seasoned anglers and those just starting fishing, The new provincial guide being distributed by our local Health Unit should be essential reading before reeling in the variety of sport fish found in Ontario lakes, streams.

Avoid Contaminated Fish!

‘Fish is a good source of protein, is low in saturated fat, and is a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids. That is why people are encouraged to eat at least two servings of fish per week,” says Laura Danilko, a Registered Dietitian with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. “Unfortunately, some sport fish, including those from Ontario, may contain contaminants such as mercury that can be harmful.’

‘Restrictions on consuming certain sport fish are not unique to Ontario,’ Danilko says, adding, ‘Most places in North America have some type of limit for young children, expectant mothers and women who are trying to get pregnant.’

The introductory section of the Guide even includes directions on how to properly prepare fish to avoid containments.

Sensitive Populations Warned

Contaminants can be especially harmful to women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant , as well as children under the age of 15 years. Separate amounts are shown in the Guide’s tables for Sensitive populations and General populations.

‘Scientific studies show that unborn babies and young children can be very sensitive to the contaminants found in some fresh water fish and that exposure to mercury at certain levels can harm an unborn baby and affect a child’s brain development,’ Danilko says.

About the 2011-2012 Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish

The new Interactive Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish www.ontario.ca/fishguide is also now available in a handy field guide format from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, and through HKPR District Health Unit offices. The Guide provides detailed information on sport fish from nearly 2,000 locations in Ontario, and includes the recommended number of fresh water fish that can be safely eaten, tips on choosing fish with the lowest contamination levels, and advice on ways to prepare fish to reduce contaminants.
