KEEPING SAFETY IN MIND AS YOU CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE THIS WEEKEND. THE NEW MEXICO POISON AND DRUG INFORMATION CENTER IS CAUTIONING ADULTS TO WATCH CHILDREN CLOSELY OVER THE HOLIDAY, AS KIDS CAN CONFUSE GLOW STICKS AND FIREWORKS WITH CANDY AND OTHER FOOD ITEMS.
SPEAKING OF FOOD, IF YOU’RE HAVING AN OUTDOOR DINNER OR GOING ON A PICNIC, BE SURE TO TAKE WHAT YOU NEED TO KEEP FOODS AT THEIR PROPER TEMPERATURE.
FINALLY, REFRIGERATE THOSE LEFTOVERS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AND REMEMBER, THE POISON CENTER IS ALWAYS OPEN.
