    Common Corrosive substances in your home: bleach, toilet bowl cleaner, vinegar

  • corrode or burn skin (can bleed or get infected easily)

  • Don’t drink vinegar (it corrodes your stomach lining), but you can add to fries and other food

  • If you put bleach directly on a shirt, it will make a hole in the shirt within an hour

  • Usually, people dilute bleach with water first before putting it into the washing machine (1 part bleach, 5+ parts water)



  • Compressed gas cylinder: if it is dropped to the ground or the top cap is loosened or broken, it will fly like a rocket. This will break doors, walls and your legs.

  • These gas cylinders must be securely placed so that they don’t drop onto the floor.

  • Some patients need oxygen tanks to supply oxygen for them to breathe.



  • Biohazard materials: used syringes contain small droplets of blood (which can carry diseases, viruses, drugs and other funny things)

  • Next time when you go and get a flu/COVID shot, your doctor puts the used syringe in a yellow box, and the box has the biohazard label. 

  • These syringes will be incinerated

  • Never pick up a used syringe from the park or parking lot. Tell a caretaker or teacher if you see one from the schoolyard
