And yet! This is the most dangerous item for children in the bathroom

Inside a bathroom we find razors, cleaners, cosmetics and many other items that could be very dangerous in the hands of a child. But there is something that is far from our imagination and yet it is the most dangerous thing for a child. And it's not me who says it, but the experts after years of studies.

Researchers so from the Nationwide Children's Hospital in Ohio, United States, they studied data collected from Children's Hospitals in the United States.
The research, which was also published by the New York Post, showed that the most dangerous item in our bathroom is cotton buds for the ears that send an average of 34 children to the hospital every day.
Between 1999 and 2010, more than 250,000 children needed medical attention for swab-related injuries—and it's possible that this number may not include all incidents. "Because this study only recorded cases treated in emergency departments, it is very likely that there were other injuries that were treated by other specialties in other departments such as otolaryngologists or pediatricians," said Kris Jatana, who led the study.
According to the data, at least two out of three children who required medical attention were under the age of 8, and 77% of them had taken the swabs themselves. The good thing is that 99% of these incidents only involved care and discharge.
Jatana warns parents to keep cotton buds away from children and explain the dangers of placing them in the ear. "Not only is it unnecessary to clean children's ears, but this also puts them at serious risk of injury," he notes. “The swabs can cause a perforation in the ear drum or push the wax further in where it gets trapped. Injuries can cause infection, dizziness or even hearing loss."
