Taking medicine that the doctor did not prescribe for us, or taking too much of the ones he ordered, can be terrifying! Don't even think that your delicious syrup is a soft drink to drink without stopping, and never use medication because you think it's cool, beautiful or that it's going to be strong. Nothing remains… And if you catch your little brother playing with medicine bottles, take it out of his hand, even if he makes the biggest scandal. Hurry up and let your parents, grandparent or other adult know. There, it's not being a snitch. It's being a guardian angel!
Fanny Abramovich. “Children's Safety Manual”. Oct. 1991.
