NJ Poison Center Advisory: Hidden Hazards of Holiday Season


The holidays are an exciting and busy time of year! Whether you’re traveling near or far, hosting or attending a gathering, or just cozying up at home, it’s important to be aware of hidden holiday hazards that can potentially cause serious injury. 

Anything can be poisonous if used in the wrong way, in the wrong amount, or by the wrong person. Hidden dangers involve more than just medicines and chemicals. It’s important to note that accidents happen to everyone, not just kids and pets.

The holidays are also a time to be aware of the increased risk of illness. Holiday activities carry a high risk for spreading germs causing colds, flu and COVID-19. This year choose safer ways to celebrate, including becoming fully vaccinated and getting a COVID-19 booster.
