NORTH SHORE HEALTH DEPARTMENT

March 21-26th is National Poison Prevention Week. Poisoning is the leading cause of all injury deaths and one of the top causes of non-fatal emergency room visits. Each year over a million visits to the emergency room are due to poisonings. Drugs (both legal and illegal) cause the vast majority of poisoning deaths. Medications that are helpful in therapeutic doses may be deadly when taken in excess or by people they are not prescribed for. Approximately 95% of the ER visits for accidental medication overdoses are in young children, and up to 20% of pediatric poisonings involve a grandparent’s medication. Help protect children with the following tips:

Take a minute to program the Poison Center’s number (1-800-222-1222) into your cell phone contact list.

Store all medicines out of reach and out of sight.

Never call a medicine “candy” to encourage a child to take it. Use child-resistant packaging whenever possible, but remember that “child-resistant” is not “child-

proof.” Dispose of unused or expired medicine in a safe manner, as described at the FDA website. Locally,

many police departments in the Milwaukee area collect medicine. Visit MMSD's website to see if your local police department provides this service.

Carefully monitor the use of medicines prescribed for children and teens, such as medicines for ADD or depression.

To learn more about how to keep your children safe visit SafeKids.org.

Last Week at the North Shore Health Department Health department staff attended a regional Communicable Disease symposium sponsored by the Milwaukee Health Department and the Region 7 Healthcare Emergency Readiness Coalition. At the symposium, they were briefed on Zika virus, Elizabethkingia, and healthcare associated infections. CDC and healthcare providers monitor and contain threats to patient safety through improvements in clinical practice, medical procedures, and evidence-based infection control guidelines.

Health department staff also participated in the webinar “The Flint Water Crisis: The Water-Public Health Connection” sponsored by the American Public Health Association and the American Water Works Association. The Health Department is working closely with water utilities in the North Shore to help disseminate information about the importance of flushing pipes by running cold tap water through the fixtures for several minutes until the water temperature changes, signifying that the house’s service line has been flushed.

Did you know?

On February 29, 2016, Governor Scott Walker signed into law a law requiring drivers to turn on their vehicle headlights when weather conditions limit visibility. While this was common sense for many drivers, other drivers sometimes require a mandate to employ common sense.

The language, added by statue, defines the type of weather conditions: 340.01(43e) “Period of limited visibility” means any time that weather conditions limit visibility such that objects on a highway are not clearly discernible at 500 feet from the front of a vehicle.

In other words, turn your headlights on in heavy rain, snow and fog when you cannot see 500 feet (less than two football fields or about five basketball courts) in front of your vehicle.
