“…In other national and international studies, a significant number also underlined care for accidental poisoning in the infant-juvenile population (8)(9)(13)(14)(15)(16) , revealing the need for preventive measures to reduce the incidence, since all accidental events are considered predictable and preventable (17) . Other studies corroborate our findings, in which there was a prevalence of male victims in accidental intoxications (3,(9)(10)(11)16,(18)(19)(20) , which may be explained by behavioral factors, since boys are known to be more active and restless than girls, and social and cultural factors, as greater vigilance is given to girls, while boys are freer in their play and more exposed to the risks of the home environment for intoxication/poisoning (9)(10) . The higher frequency of poisoning in the age group of 1-4 years is similar to results of other samples (10)(11)16,18,20) .…”

“…Pesticides were the second toxic agent (55.5%) found in the study [26,27,29,30,31], and poisoning was generally accidental in children and intentional in adolescents. In both cases the home was the locus of such occurrences.…”

“…Ease of access to those products was essential for selfharm and the adult's presence did not prevent the occurrence of intoxication [26,29,30,32]. Vomiting and somnolence were considered a common clinical manifestation on children seen on hospital units [30] and infant deaths were reported as a complication of acute intoxication to toxic agents [28,29,34].…”

“…Apesar de presente no ambiente, a adolescente pode estar ocupada com outras atividades, não realizando supervisão direta da criança, assim, a simples presença de um cuidador não impede que o acidente aconteça 19 . Portanto, no cuidado com a criança, a mãe adolescente necessita de apoio, que é fornecido, principalmente, pela família…”
