A one-year-old girl was admitted to intensive care after being poisoned with a slug repellent. The toddler ate an unknown amount of brightly colored chemical pellets, which can attract the attention of small children. The parents independently brought their daughter to the University of Pediatrics, where she was transferred under the supervision of CPR operations. The child's condition is now assessed as stable. As the doctors said, the girl was lucky: the dangerous substance that entered her body belongs to the third level of danger and is considered moderately dangerous for humans. We are talking about metaldehyde, a chemical used to kill slugs and snails. It usually comes in the form of bright green or blue granules that can easily attract the attention of the little ones.
