Would you keep a loaded gun under your kitchen sink?

Would you keep a loaded gun under your kitchen sink?

What's under your sink?
  • Bleach?
  • Ammonia?
  • Dishwasher detergent?
  • Window cleaner?

There are three ways these toxic chemicals can enter your body:

1. Ingestion
The most common cause of child poisonings

2. Inhalation
Toxic fumes can be released even when a chemical is tightly sealed in its container. Walk down the cleaning products aisle at your local supermarket and you can smell the toxic vapors. It's called outgassing.

3. Absorption
Any chemical which touches the skin is absorbed and spread throughout the body. Think of nicotine patches and analgesic creams.

For pertinent facts about chemicals that can directly affect your health and the well being of those you love and what you can do to protect yourself, read more from Dr. Doris Rapp, M.D., author of Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call.
