    The most common poison exposures for children were ingestion of household products such as cosmetics and personal care products, cleaning substances, pain relievers, foreign bodies, and plants (Litovitz 2001).

    There are three

    1. gasoline kept in soda bottles by parents who use it to clean oil and paint.

    2. windex because it looks like fruit juice.

    3. lemon oil due to the smell.

    You can also find more information on the Poison Control Hotline/Website

    Antifreeze would be common because it is sweet, but I would call your local poison control center and tell them this is not an emergency. Tell them this is for school. It is not an emergency.

    Very interesting question. Are you asking because that's the only stuff you'll move up high, or will you make sure it's put down low?

    Bleach is the first thing that comes to my mind.

    Water. No, sorry, that's just a compound. Maybe call poison control...ask them.
