So you want to talk about natural selection…

Thousands of Kiwi kids poisoned by painkillers, household chemical…

[Thank god the Saudi air force pilots aren’t yet allowed to drop “toy” bombs on our playgrounds!]

Hundreds of kiwi kids are ending up in hospital poisoned every year, many after mistaking medicines for sweets, or experimenting with household chemicals.

“Safekids Aotearoa has crunched the numbers on poisoning hospitalisations for children, showing that over eight years nearly 2500 have ended up in hospital after unintentionally poisoning themselves,” according to a report.

Poisoning usually occurred at home, with children under five playing and experimenting with dangerous substances. Medicine accounted for about seven out of 10, with household chemicals, including toilet cleaner and dish-washing liquids, accounting for most of the rest, the report said.

The claims cost ACC $234,517.
