What is the best way to prevent carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning?					Say NO and go. An adult should ask another adult for help. Go tell a trusted adult.	Fire Safety
What is the best way to prevent electrical shock of young children in the home?					Safe spots are places you can stop if you need help.  Some examples would be: the library, police station, fire department, a friend's house, a restaurant, a store or a trusted neighbor's house.	First Aid
What is the best way to prevent encounters with dangerous animals?					Remember the 3 foot rule with all heating equipment. See our website for more information.	Stranger Danger
What is the best way to remove a tick from your skin? 					Put decals, pictures, or other colorful objects at eye level so that children will not run into the glass. 	Wilderness Survival
What is the best way to respond if you are approached by an aggressive cougar or mountain lion?					Phishing is a scam where Internet fraudsters send spam email or pop-up messages to obtain personal and financial information from unsuspecting victims. Some of their methods can be very convincing: links that appear to go to a legitimate website, sites that mimic legitimate sites, and phone numbers that use voice over Internet to route to other area codes. Lean more about phishing, how to prevent it, and what to do on our website.	1st Aid
What is the best way to signal for help if you are lost in the woods?					Pedestrian accidents account for the highest number of school bus-related fatalities. Two-thirds of which involve the school bus itself and the rest involving motorists illegally passing the stopped school bus. The loading zone is far more dangerous than the bus ride itself.	Stranger Danger
What is the biggest danger associated with cheap jewelry that you might buy or receive as a gift?					Only apply a tourniquet if absolutely necessary and only as a last resort. A tourniquet can result in the loss of a limb. 	Fire Safety
What is the biggest danger associated with metal jewelry for children?					One of the instructions you may be given in an emergency where hazardous materials (chemical, biological, or radiological) may have accidentally or intentionally been released into the atmosphere, is to shelter-in-place. Shelter-in-place means selecting a small, interior room, with no or few windows, and taking refuge there. See our website for detailed information.	Wilderness Survival
What is the biggest danger with an anti-locking brake system (ABS)?					No. Never go alone to a public restroom. When you are finished, leave as soon as possible.	Wilderness Survival
What is the cause of most school bus-related fatalities?					No. A stranger can wear nice T-shirts, long pants, shorts, a suit, a dress, or maybe even a uniform.	Wilderness Survival
What is the correct way to adjust your mirrors on a car?					No. A stranger can be a man, woman, teenager, or child. This person can be young or old.	Stranger Danger
What is the critical first aid rule when treating someone with a suspected neck or spinal injury?					No it is not! That liquid could be poisonous or a cleaning fluid. Never put anything in your mouth that you are not absolutely sure without first checking with an adult. Go to our website to try a neat game for finding poisons in your house.	Stranger Danger
What is the danger associated with toys like chalk or crayons?					Never, ever, reveal this personal information to someone on the computer. There are many people on the Internet that pretend to be someone that they are not. Go to our website to learn more and sign the McGruff Internet pledge. 	Water Safety 
What is the Danger Zone in regard to a school bus?					Never tell a child that medicine is candy. This can lead to accidental overdoses and distrust on the part of the child. 	Wilderness Survival
What is the difference between a tornado watch and warning?					Never ride a bike without wearing a helmet. Not only is this dangerous, but it is also against the law in most states. Call home and see if someone can bring over your helmet.	Personal Safety
What is the difference in survival rate if you hit a pedestrian at 20 MPH versus 40 MPH?					Never put clothes, blankets, or anything that could burn over a lamp - even if just playing. This could easily start a fire.	1st aid
What is the first aid procedure for heat stroke (4 items)? 					Never accept gifts from people you do not know, unless your parent says it is okay. People may try to gain your trust by doing this and then they may harm you.	Stranger Danger
What is the first thing you should do before eating any of your Halloween candy?					Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause. Always think about driving safely! On an average day there are about 11,000 emergency room visits related to motor vehicle accidents.	Fire Safety 
What is the generally accepted order for connecting the 4 cable ends when jump-starting a dead car battery?					Most experts say you should run your car about 10 minutes every hour to keep warm; however, you must also periodically check your exhaust pipe to make sure it is clear of snow and ice. If it is even partially blocked it can force exhaust into the car through the floor or air intake system leading to CO poisoning.	Fire Safety 
What is the largest living lizard in the world?					Most candle fires start in the bedroom. About 38% of the fires start here and they cause 41% of fatalities. 	Personal Safety 
What is the leading cause of accidental fatality and injury for adults?					Many studies have suggested that decongestants and antihistamines are not effective and potentially dangerous for young children. 	1st Aid
What is the leading cause of house fires during the winter months?					Many newer and small magnets are very powerful; and used in many toys. If a child swallows more than one magnet they can attract to each other inside the intestines and cause perforations and/or blockage, which can be fatal, if not treated immediately - usually requiring emergency surgery. 	Water Safety
What is the main cause of most animal attacks?					Many cases of botulism occur with infants as their digestive systems are not fully developed. Honey can cause botulism with infants and should not be given to children unless over 1 year of age.	Water Safety

What is the most important factor in the creation of a potential avalanche?					Keep the door closed and turn off the heat. If the fire doesn’t go out immediately, call the fire department. 	Wilderness Survival
What is the most important safety rule regarding rear-facing infant seats if you have passenger side air bags?					Keep all toys away from the pool when not in use. Toys can attract young children into the pool area and pool.	Wilderness Survival
What is the most important skill you can learn to increase your safety around water?					It should be pinched closed to allow air to reach their lungs (same as adults). You can find first aid courses through many local organizations.	Personal Safety
What is the most important thing in your house to avoid during a tornado?					It should be over the rug. If it's under the rug, the cord could become damaged or frayed and nobody would see it. This is an easy way to start a house fire.	Wilderness Survival
What is the name of the device that uses sunlight to purify and obtain water?					It is when a person/child becomes trapped by the suction force of the pool drain/pump. 1-Install anti-entrapment drain covers. 2-Install a safety vacuum release system that detects small changes in pressure on the pool drain. 3-Know about and use the shut-off switch for the pump immediately. 4-Ensure drain covers are installed with solid, stainless steel screws. 5-Do not panic-you can save the person. 6-Release the person by pulling sideways and trying to wedge fingers under them to break the vacuum seal. 7-Teach children to stay away from dangerous pool/spa drains.	Fire Safety 
What is the name of the infection you can get if a sick dog bites you?					It is possible for a child to be strangled by the cords on draperies and mini-blinds. The middle inner cord found between the slats of mini-blinds when the blind is in its fully lowered position creates a loop when pulled by a child. If the loop can be pulled and opened widely enough, the child's head can become entangled. Newer blinds and drapery are required by law to remove cord safety hazards. Read more about this and find out how to get a free repair kit for older blinds through our website.	Transportation Safety
What is the name of the most poisonous animal on earth?					It is good to wear some type of booty or protective footwear. There can be jagged rocks, glass, or other sharp objects in the water that could damage your feet. You should also never bring glass to a pool or outdoor swimming area - keep these areas safe for other swimmers.	Wilderness Survival
What is the name of the most serious type of burn you can get?					It is a trick your eyes play on you. When you see very large objects like a train or a jet plane landing they seem to be moving much slower than their true speed. It is difficult to judge a train's distance and speed. This is one of many reasons you should never try to beat a train across the tracks.	Wilderness Survival
What is the name of the only poisonous lizard in America?					It is a "word" that you and your family has established and given out to a few people in order for you to know who you can trust. 	1st Aid
What is the number one reason smoke alarms fail to operate during a house fire?					Install plastic safety caps over all electric outlets not in use. You should also keep appliances out of reach and make sure electrical cords are not frayed.	Wilderness Survival
What is the primary technique for stopping severe bleeding from a cut?					Install a smoke alarm outside each sleeping area and at a minimum, on each additional level of your home. If people sleep with doors closed, install smoke alarms inside bedrooms too. 	Stranger Danger
What is the primary treatment for a minor burn?					Infants, toddlers and young children are physiologically different from adults, teenagers and even older children. Because of their small stature and because their musculoskeletal systems are not fully developed, safety belts cannot provide a proper and safe means of restraining young children in the event of a crash. Safety seats are engineered to provide the added protection that children require.	Wilderness Survival
What is the problem with “blue blocking” sunglasses?					In about 73% of the reported fires in which the smoke alarms did not operate, batteries were missing, disconnected, or dead. You should always test your smoke alarm. Consider hard-wired smoke alarms as they operate on your household electrical current.	Personal Safety
What is the proper position for your body when you are going down a water slide?					If your vehicle has a passenger-side air bag, the only place for a rear-facing infant seat to be installed is in the back seat. 	Wilderness Survival
What is the proper procedure if your child suffers a chemical burn?					Ideally, only a passenger would use navigation systems, allowing the driver to concentrate completely on the road. If driving alone you can program manually while stopped off the road or use voice programming only. Driver distraction is a leading cause of accidents. 	1st Aid
What is the proper way to extinguish an electrical fire?					ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. Paramedics are asking that everyone add at least one new entry to their cell phone contacts list. Please add an ICE entry, this number should dial the person in your family that can respond to medical decisions if you are injured. Your primary contact should be listed under ICE, then you can add other contacts under ICE1, ICE2, etc. After you program ICE into your phone, have your spouse, your kids, your parents, and your friends do the same thing.	1st Aid
What is the proper way to use an in-car navigation system (GPS) when driving?					Hydroplaning occurs in heavy rains when your car actually loses contact with the road. The water in front of your tires builds up faster than your car’s weight can push it out of the way. You are now driving on a thin layer of water and are in danger of skidding or drifting out of your lane, or even off the road. See our website for more information.	Personal Safety
What is the recommended number of children per staff/caregivers (day care facility), for children between 3-5 years old?					Hot weather makes you sweat more, which means you need to drink lots of liquids before, during, and after. The best liquid to drink is water.	Wilderness Survival
What is the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related fatality for children under 14?					Hold the burned area under cold running water, submerse in cold water, or use cold compresses for 5-15 minutes. Cooling the burn reduces swelling. Cover the burn with a sterile gauze bandage (not fluffy cotton). Wrap the gauze loosely to avoid putting pressure on burned skin. Gauze keeps air off the burned skin, reduces pain and protects blistered skin. 	Transportation Safety 
What is the simplest thing you can do to prevent the common cold and flu?					Hippopotamuses actually cause more deaths than lions each year and thus they are more dangerous. Hippos invade farmers' fields and can get aggressive when they encounter people.	First Aid
What is the single leading cause of accidental poisoning fatalities in the U.S.?					Heatstroke is the most severe of the heat-related problems and can be life-threatening. While anyone can get heat stroke, young children are at higher risk. You should move the victim out of the sun or into a cool area, call 911, cool the person with damp sheets or spray with cool water, and have them drink cool water if they are able. 	Wilderness Survival
What is the universal sign for “I’m choking”?					Heating equipment is the leading cause of home fires during the winter months of December, January and February, and is the second leading cause of home fires year-round. 	Stranger Danger
