🤧 As kiddos start bringing home more sniffles, it's a good time to check that all your medicines still have their matching dosing tools attached. Always use the dosing tool came with the bottle - never a kitchen spoon or any other cup. Even a small miscalculated amount can cause harm, especially to small children. If you have any questions about medications or dosing, or if a mistake happens, call Washington Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222. They're always there and always ready!

🚨 Cheese Recall Alert 🧀
The FDA has upgraded a nationwide cheese recall to its highest danger level after Listeria (a bacteria) was found in certain grated Pecorino Romano cheeses. Eating contaminated cheese can lead to severe symptoms, especially in pregnant people, older adults, young children, and those with weakened immune systems.
👉 If you have the affected cheese:
✔ Do not eat it — throw it away or return it for a refund.
✔ Clean and sanitize any surfaces the cheese touched.
✔ Watch for symptoms like fever, confusion, and diarrhea
Call us with questions or concerns! 1-800-222-1222. Learn more: https://www.king5.com/article/news/nation-world/fda-upgrades-nationwide-cheese-recall-to-highest-danger-level/507-8e5e3317-7707-4fcf-88ed-7d6099e33c5a
