Dear David:

Last night I was babysitting my niece & we were colouring with "Crayola" crayons. I heard of a satellite radio report of a child dying after choking on a crayon in Auckland, New Zealand a few months ago & this I guess has happened beIV. As we know, colouring & play is part of a child's normal development. But we must also keep in mind safety factors & ensure the child(ren) is/are aided as quick as possible if its found they have swallowed a crayon product. Or marker, pen, pencil or any substance. The faster they are treated, the less likely they are II suffer from ink &/or led poisoning.

Health Factors Triumphant,

Rory
