Pain Killer Poisoning
Acetaminophen is the most popular pain reliever, used by over 100 Million people per year. Most users consider it so safe they aren't concerned about getting too much. And thats probably why there are over 56,000 emergency room visits annually. Over 100 of them die. One popular brand is Tylenol. Most of us use it and have found relief.
But its also found in so many other products (cold remedies, prescriptions,etc)that people can overdose without realizing it until its too late. Some companies are now printing more information on the Front label. And we commend the McNeil company for warning people:
" If you don't read the label.......Don't use the product.!"
Just doubling the daily safe dose could lead to death, according to these researchers. I'm glad for the warning. It came as a surprise that this popular over the counter product is the leading cause of liver failure. Read your labels. Talk with pharmacist if any doubts.

SUV's Safer than Cars? Not for KIDS
SUV's NOT Safer for Children Report
Childrens Hosptial Child Safety Info
Some car owners were getting after some SUV owners during recent gas high prices. One SUV owner replied: " Well yes, it does take more gas. But our kids are safer than in a car." Some of us used to think so. But not anymore. Read this new report and you'll see children can be more endangered riding in a SUV than in a car !!
One problem with SUV's is their tendency to ' roll-over.' A lot more than any car. And children's injuries are Three-times worse in SUV rollovers than in a car. Read what a Children's Hospital emergency room doctor has to say about this:
. "Many people just assume that the extra weight and size of an SUV makes them safer, but what we found was that the potential benefits were canceled by the SUVs' increased likelihood of rolling over," said study co-author Dr. Dennis Durbin, an emergency room doctor at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
"The message for parents is that SUVs are no safer, and that they should know the importance of ensuring that their children are properly restrained for their age on every trip in the car."
SUV's are more popular than ever, partly due to owners feeling of safety. And some tests have verified that. But they only tested for adults. This new report considered the safety of Children and learned some alarming things that you should also know about.
