While the holidays can be a wonderful time spent with friends and family, there are also a number of accidents associated with the holidays. According to medical statistics, people have been injured watering Christmas trees without unplugging the lights, testing batteries with their tongues, swallowing decorations mistaken for chocolate, and injuring themselves using sharp knives to open wine bottles.
Even though you may not be the victim of these rare accidents, it is still important to know what to do in case of a holiday health emergency. Here are our Holiday Health and Safety Tips:
